Starting point is 00:00:59 You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 24th of May, Year of Our Lord 2023. Well, today we're going to take a look at the Republican candidates as it's rapidly escalating this week. DeSantis is going to be doing his announcement tonight with Musk. We'll take a look at that, what is going on behind the scenes. What billionaires are behind which candidates? You see, it's all out in the open now it costs billions of dollars to run so these billionaires are coming in and they get to pick who the candidates are going to be so we're going to take a look since they won't tell us exactly what their policies are we'll take a look at who their promoters are and we can kind of get an insight
Starting point is 00:02:02 about some of that so we'll be talking about that. But we're going to begin with a state of emergency that has been declared in the state of Florida over schools, over education. Well, I agree, but it's not the kind of emergency the Democrat governor says it is. We'll be right back. Well, in North Carolina, we have the Democrat governor and a veto-proof majority of Republicans now. And they just had a back and forth over some other issues this last week, and they were able to override his veto to protect children.
Starting point is 00:02:56 But now he's talking about education. He has declared a state of emergency because there is a school choice bill. And again, I want to get the government out of education completely. I don't want the government even controlling people with financial strings. And when you look at it from a private school standpoint, you know how this is going to go. Initially, they give you the money and there's no strings attached. Then you become dependent on the money and you can no strings attached then you become dependent on the money and you can't run your institution without that and then they come back in they say well you know we're going to pull that money if you don't do this and this and this that's what they've done
Starting point is 00:03:32 with title nine that's what they did putting boys in the girls bathrooms and the girls gyms and that type of thing that's the oldest trick in the book that's the way the government operates that's why i put all the responsibility for these covid lockdowns and all the rest of this stuff, a hundred percent on Trump. He was head of the federal government that was handing out tens of, well, trillions of dollars to, I'm sorry, tens of billions to each of these governors, but it was trillions of dollars. And he kept the money flowing. And then he gave all kinds of financial incentives for medical malpractice and all the rest of this stuff. You create policy, you reward and punish people,
Starting point is 00:04:15 you do things that the federal government doesn't have the authority to do by giving them money or taking it away. It's just that simple. And it does that at the state levels as well. So we have seen DeSantis clearly understands that. He used money as a financial weapon in some of these battles with the woke school teachers and other issues over the COVID stuff.
Starting point is 00:04:39 And again, he did some good stuff. My criticism of him is that he didn't go far enough, but he went further sooner than any of the other governors did. But that's the way they do this stuff. Whether you're talking about a governor or you're talking about the president. So the governor of North Carolina, Democrat Roy Cooper, declared a state of emergency on Monday in an attempt to stop a school choice bill from passing. He said it's time to declare a state of emergency for a public education in North Carolina. There is no executive order like with a hurricane or the pandemic, but it's no less important.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Well, I agree with him about that. You see, if we want to understand the forces that are destroying the very foundations of our society, not just the building that's being flooded and are blown down by a storm. If you want to understand how the very foundations of our society are being destroyed, take a look at government schools. Take a look at government's role in education. And it's going to extend to all aspects of education if we go to voucher systems, if
Starting point is 00:05:43 we go to school choice systems, because they're going to say that they have control over that and there's going to be a rope-a-dope scheme. Uh, when I was in North Carolina, what we did, I ran for office. And when I was a campaign manager for guy who ran for governor, we said, this is what we would do for education. We would allow anybody anywhere to take a tax credit, not a deduction, a tax credit. That means dollar for dollar on the bottom line.
Starting point is 00:06:12 You owe them another thousand dollars or something. Well, you could donate that thousand dollars to any kid that you want, not to an institution, but to a child. And you don't have to be, you don't have to be related to that child. Let's see some real change. Everybody says, well, we can't do this because there's poor kids out there who can't do it. I know a lot of poor families who homeschool. And they've made that decision
Starting point is 00:06:38 that one parent is going to stay home with the kids. Or you might have a single parent who is working with other single parents. they make all kinds of sacrifices financially with their time and all the rest of this stuff. I told people when I was active with the homeschooling boards in the days before you had social media, I said, don't even, don't beg the state school system in North Carolina. Don't beg them for money for sports. Don't, don't ask them to be able to participate in sports because you know, they're going to use that against your kids.
Starting point is 00:07:17 And we can see easily how they would use that. Now said, keep your distance. You don't want your kids contaminated with that institution and you don't want them to have any excuse to say, well, we're giving you money. So now we need to evaluate your performance because they don't want them to have any excuse to say, well, we're giving you money, so now we need to evaluate your performance. Because they don't care about their performance. Anytime you see that, anytime you're concerned about whether or not you can do a better job of educating your child, just take a look at what the government schools are doing. You can't possibly do worse. Lose the fear. They control you by fear. They control you by uncertainty.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Well, put your trust in God. In God we trust. Absolutely. You literally cannot do worse. We're an adult literacy rate lower than the 1800s. That's right. Far lower than the 18th century, as a matter of fact. So, yeah. That's not even counting comprehension. You look at what they look at. No critical thinking whatsoever, right, Travis?
Starting point is 00:08:13 Anyway, if you care about public schools in North Carolina, he said, it's time to take immediate action and tell them to stop the damage that will set back our schools for a generation. Wait a minute. If we take the clock back for a generation or two, they wouldn't be doing the Marxist education. They wouldn't be doing the grooming, the sexual grooming of kids in kindergarten. I think we should take it back a generation or two. No, I think we should take it down altogether. It's a burning building.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Get your kids out's a burning building. Get your kids out of the burning building and then work with your neighbors to stop it from burning down the entire country, the neighborhood if you want. So neutering the abuse of emergency power
Starting point is 00:08:59 by the executive branch should be priority number one for every state, said one person. Conservative account polymath, that's right. Are you tired of all the executive orders about everything? I am. I don't want dictators at the state level with the governor.
Starting point is 00:09:14 I certainly don't want a dictator at the federal level. And boy, we have really moved that down the road, haven't we? For the longest time, people have been begging for this. It's implicit in all the concern about who's going to win the presidential election, who we're going to support. Well, you know, if I criticize any of these candidates, and I do, I criticize all of them because of policy. Some of them because of character as well, because character does matter. But we should take a look at their policy, and we should understand that there isn't any savior in the wings. There's not any benevolent dictator that's going to fix everything.
Starting point is 00:09:55 They've all got some big problems, blind spots or places where they have been bought out or where they have sold themselves. And so there's not any savior coming in Washington. Washington is the big problem. And everybody seems to understand that as the conservatives do. Democrats, liberals think that that's the big solution to everything. And too many times conservatives believe that as well. They believe that if they get the right people in there, then the federal government can be your savior. That was never the view of the founding fathers. Never the view.
Starting point is 00:10:31 I don't want to hear any more about trust in men, they said. Let us bind them down with the chains of the Constitution. And that's what we should be about. How do we control these people? Not how do we elevate them into a godlike dictator who's going to fix everything. That's naive. So the first priority for everybody at every state, as well as for the federal government, is to stop this executive branch doing whatever it wishes.
Starting point is 00:10:53 And that especially includes the bureaucracy that is under the executive branch. A school choice advocate, Corey DeAngelis, wrote, they're losing control over the minds of other people's children. Good. Cry harder. I like that a lot. No, look, we need to, as the excellent documentary Killing Ed showed, Mark Hall put that together.
Starting point is 00:11:23 You need to look at private schools and the voucher systems. The worst case scenario of this is an Islamic cult leader, Fatala Gulen, who has got nearly a billion dollars. Probably by now it is over a billion dollars. Massive presence in Texas with his schools. He gets government money and he's got his own agenda. He keeps it off to the side and kind of hidden in terms of his, everywhere else he operates his schools, they're explicitly,
Starting point is 00:11:58 they're madrasas. But he's got to disconnect, at least in the perception of it in America, that connection. So he has schools of science and math typically and so people oh well good i want my kids good in science and math so they put them in there and um you know you have to understand who's behind these schools who's running these schools you have big corporations that are doing it as well do you really the big corporations that are brainwashing you and the media the big corporations that are doing it as well? Do you really, the big corporations that are brainwashing you on the media, the big corporations that are behind the censorship, the big corporations that are behind the drugs and all the rest of it, do you want them educating your kids as well?
Starting point is 00:12:34 Haven't you had enough of big government and big corporations? And that's what you're going to get is this kind of crony capitalism, this kind of fascism, you're going to exchange your socialist system of education and your Marxist system of education for a crony capitalist fascism type of education. And guess what? The fascists, the Nazis, called themselves socialists. Jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. Not to mention all the corruption
Starting point is 00:13:02 that Mark Hall's documentary Killing Ed showed with the Fathallah Gulen people. One person also commented on Twitter, Purple Strategies, said, if I were the governor of North Carolina, I would have been declaring a state of emergency when the state was at the bottom third of states reopening schools and depriving children of an education they needed. Not once did parents get involved and demanded something better for their kids. Yeah, that's the problem. The problem is, and as I said before, I'm not so worried about school closures as I am about schools opening.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Schools open to close the mind of the kids. You understand? school's opening schools open to close the mind of the kids you understand you look at what i call i call them the sodom and go marxist because they're pushing a sodomy agenda they're pushing a marxist agenda with a crt racist agenda they want to race war for their marxist revolution they want to sterilize the kids mentally if you will you. They don't even want to have them aspire to a heterosexual relationship at all. That's one way to depopulate the country. It's a satanic agenda to erase humanity. Cooper has been criticized for opposing private school vouchers
Starting point is 00:14:18 while sending his daughter to a private school. How many times have we seen this with rich Democrat liberals? He also attempted to end the state's opportunity scholarship program, which provides vouchers to lower and middle income students. I'll say it again. Don't take the money. It will come with strings eventually. And it'll come with strings at the time that you were dependent on it and addicted to it. The love of money is the root of all evil,
Starting point is 00:14:47 and the love of subsidies is a form of that in terms of the government. An NC Newsline report, critics of the voucher program, quote, complain that the private schools that receive taxpayer money engage in religious indoctrination and exclusion, that they discriminate against LGBTQ students and parents, and are not held accountable for academic outcomes the way charter schools and traditional public schools are. Are traditional public schools held accountable for outcome?
Starting point is 00:15:15 Are they really? No. No. Not at all. Academic outcomes, they just keep handing the money out there. Because as long as they are used as tools of social engineering for LGBT, for... These days, life is all... Luckily, with Bank of Ireland's current account and Visa debit card, you get all your day-to-day banking covered for just €6 a month. So you can tap, pay and send in euro with no surprises.

Religious indoctrination of their secular humanism and their transhumanism as long as that is there that's what they're concerned about that's why i say oh you you really do want to take this back a generation let's do that let's go back a couple of generations uh we take your gun with you to school so you can do target practice and ROTC. Let's do that again. Didn't have school shootings then. It wasn't because of that.
Starting point is 00:16:31 School shootings are because of the godless culture that we have and because of SSRIs. As a matter of fact, we have as our guest on the third hour, a person who has been very active, um, in terms of pushing back against, uh, SSRIs. She has a tragic personal story as well. Uh, so, uh, stay tuned for that interview coming up in the third hour. France has banned short haul flights said if it is less than two and a half hours by train, you cannot take an equivalent plane flight. Not going to let you do it. However, as soon as I saw that headline, I told Karen, I said,
Starting point is 00:17:19 but they won't ban it for private planes, will they? And sure enough, they've got an exclusion for private jets. Just as we know, this is the plan. The great reset plan is to take everything from you and give it to the elites, including your travel, including not just air travel, but your automobile travel and your ability to travel at all. The plan is to lock you in the cities. How many times do we need to see this before people begin to catch on?
Starting point is 00:17:49 And so they're going to make those exceptions for people who have private jets, of course, just as it's not a problem at all for these people to go to a different conference everywhere every month you know davos bilderberg some green climate conference then another green climate conference they go all over the place all the time as much as they want and lecture us about our carbon footprint this is a bit of good news i think uh when we were talking about how many ev car companies were taking out am radios because they didn't want to go through the hassle of the extra shielding there's a lot more induction noise in that than uh there is in a regular car and so you know to save a little bit of time or what or money or whatever not time but money. They said, well, we're just going to take the AM radio out.
Starting point is 00:18:47 And then they started doing it to non-electric cars. Ford said, we're going to do it to all of our cars. We're going to take the AM radio out. Well, the good news is that people started complaining about that. And there's a real good reason to complain about it. Besides the fact that many of us like AM radio, I like AM radio. It gets an interesting cross section and it's also another place where you'll find a lot more diversity and opinions frankly uh than you will on fm seems like um it's it's easier to set up a
Starting point is 00:19:17 station uh perhaps or maintain it on am i don't know why but it's you know you see again the diversity the small Christian radio stations or the conservative news stations tend to be on AM radio far more than they are on FM. FM tends to focus more on music because it's less susceptible to noise, of course. But now Ford has moved back and said, no, we're going to continue to put AM radios in all of our vehicles. So that's good. And I think it's important even from the standpoint of emergency broadcasting. That's one of the things that AM radio is there for. That's very important.
Starting point is 00:19:56 We need to not put all of our eggs in one basket because it's too easy for them to take down the Internet. It's too easy for them to take down the electric grid. That's why we don't want to heat our homes and cook all of our food, all on electricity. I'm not against using electric ranges and things like that, but we've had that in the past. We have that now in the house that we bought. But I would have preferred to have other power sources.
Starting point is 00:20:26 But they want to make sure that everybody is on the grid, everybody is on the internet, so they can take everything down at once. It's kind of interesting. They also are handing out satellite phones, making them available to all senators. Why is that? Are they expecting to take down the grid?
Starting point is 00:20:42 Are they telling them that their phones are not secure? And of course, uh, not secure from the NSA. Perhaps the NSA has already put the apps on the phones for the senators. I don't know. I mean, there's a lot of different ways that we could look at this always makes me
Starting point is 00:20:58 suspicious when they start doing something like that. What are they looking at? Are they thinking that as we escalate to war, that we are are going the senators are going to need to have that as a matter of fact let's take a little before we take a break let's talk a little bit about what is going on with the war uh we have uh in ukraine of course a major turning point this week that had been going on for a very long time in Bakhmut. And now as Bakhmut falls, they quickly pivot to other things. But I got this sent to me from a listener. He said he gets RSS.
Starting point is 00:21:36 This is Tom. Thank you, Tom. He said, I get several RSS feeds, including one from the U.S. Department of Defense. He said at four o'clock yesterday, the Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin met with a Czech Republic Minister of Defense. And in a separate update 10 minutes later,
Starting point is 00:21:56 it was mentioned that they signed a security agreement meant to enhance NATO operations. He points out that Poland is due west of Ukraine and Czech Republic is due west of Poland. So he said, as usual, it looks like a major military event may happen in and around Poland. Is this going to escalate? Well, of course, that seems to be the plan, isn't it? But Gilbert Doctorow wrote an op-ed piece talking about how the media disinformation campaign has been very obvious as we see the fall of Bakhmut. He said the word disinformation campaign has been very obvious as we see the fall of Bakhmut.
Starting point is 00:22:28 He said the word disinformation has a specific context. It's used to denigrate, to marginalize, to suppress sources of military, political, economic, and other information, you know, like medical. And of course, when they say misinformation, what they're saying is you just got it wrong. When they say disinformation, they say you're deliberately lying to people. That's what they're saying. Except these are the people who use propaganda to control the population. Why isn't it they don't call it propaganda? Because if they called it propaganda, people would instantly say
Starting point is 00:22:59 propaganda. That's government, right? So they had to come up with a different term. They had to accuse us of propaganda, but come up with a different term. They always control the terms. So it's the justification for censorship. But you need to understand that, and if you do understand the importance of free speech and what it is. You would not endorse censorship even if somebody was lying to you deliberately. You would not endorse censorship. You would be a fool to endorse censorship even if the lies are deliberate. Because the appropriate response to that is more speech.
Starting point is 00:23:50 And guess who's going to be determining what is true? The government will be. The government that has a history of propaganda in every country, of course. Especially at time of war. You'll be enabling censorship if you fall for that trap. Who are the ones that day after day feed disinformation to the public? Misleading interpretations of events and outright lies, of course. That's the government.
Starting point is 00:24:19 The many months long before the provincial Donbass city of Bakhmut, or as they say in Russian, if I got this right, it's Archomsk. Archomssk? I don't know. I really don't. I wrote down this thing phonetically so I could try to get it right. But I'm not a Russian speaker. So I don't know. Nyet, I think is the right way to pronounce that.
Starting point is 00:24:40 Anyway, it's been described for months when the outcome was unclear. The defense of Bakhmut was called heroic. And they said it demonstrated the brave fighting spirit of the Ukrainians. But casualty figures issued by Kiev and then trumpeted from Washington suggested that the Russians were stupidly throwing away the lives of their fighting men using World War I style human ways of attackers who were decimated by defenders. Russian lives are cheap, was the message they were telling everybody. They're stupid. They don't care about the lives of their people. They're going to lose, right?
Starting point is 00:25:18 The fact that the Russian artillery on site outnumbered and outperformed Ukrainian artillery by a factor of five or seven to one was freely admitted by the Western propagandists as they pleaded for increased supplies to Kiev. So at the same time, they are saying, oh, we're winning. There's no problem. Oh, we don't have enough artillery. Which is it? They nevertheless issued casual casual reports from the Russians
Starting point is 00:25:46 that inverted the force correlation. It was assumed, obviously with reason, that the public was too lazy, too uninterested to do the math, the arithmetic, actually. The spin doctors in Washington, London, and Berlin said the Ukrainian defense of Bakhmut made sense because it was pinning down Russian forces, giving time to the Ukrainians to train and position their men. These days, life is all...

Starting point is 00:26:38 For the much heralded counter offensive during which they would overrun Russian positions at chosen points in the 600 mile line of combat and drive a wedge through to the Sea of Azov, opening the way to the recapture of Crimea. But now that none of that has happened, now that Bakhmut has fallen, now that Zelensky says Bakhmut doesn't even exist anymore, except in our hearts, I talked about that, the tragic consequences of that.
Starting point is 00:27:11 How long are they going to use Ukraine as cannon fodder? Well, that was the plan. It was openly admitted three years ago, as I point out many times, by Restovich. The entire country will be decimated, devastated, will no longer exist except in their minds. But they'll be part of the NATO club, the guys that are running this and that are destroying the lives of their countrymen and their effort to get into the club.
Starting point is 00:27:42 But now we're told that Bakhmut is just a Russian fantasy, that it has absolutely no strategic value after it was the big deal for months and months. In the past couple of weeks, the Russian command has issued daily reports on the progressive capture by Russian forces of Bakhmut. Square kilometer after square kilometer, we're told they controlled 75%, then 80%, then 90%. While artillery bombardment of the remaining blocks of high-rise residential buildings that were being used by Ukrainian defenders for their sniper attacks and their intelligence reports on Russian troop movements was pulverized in their path. At this point, the attention of Western media then switched, and everybody started following
Starting point is 00:28:24 the travels of Zelensky. Let's not talk about Bach mood anymore, right? So that's the big tell the New York times, uh, just three days prior to this admitted fall was telling us readers that these breakthroughs by the Ukrainians put in jeopardy,
Starting point is 00:28:42 the Russian forces holding the city proper, that they might be surrounded and compelled to surrender or die, that the Russians would be. And so they said, look, they're breaking away, and they're regrouping in other places. Well, he says that it never occurred to people that maybe the Russians did not want to fight them to the death. You know, let these guys get out.
Starting point is 00:29:07 I don't know either way. Uh, anyway, yesterday, uh, they said yesterday, this was written on a Sunday, but on Saturday, the middle of the day, you had the Wagner group guy come out. And again, he said, we have one. And he also criticized the Russian bureaucracy. He said, we had to fight not only the Ukrainians, but the Russian bureaucracy at the same time. But Putin announced later that evening that had been taken. They had a victory celebration there that this guy says was as iconic as the one for the Battle of Stalingrad.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Well, I don't know. But it's something, as we see with the war, propaganda on both sides. The first casualty is the truth. The Russians now are celebrating this as a major victory. The NATO forces don't even want to say that it was ever
Starting point is 00:29:57 important to them. And so then on Sunday, the New York Times was still talking about the Battle of Bakhmut as being undecided. Given their losses in men and material defending Bakhmut, the surrender of the city to the Russians would be a big blow to Ukrainian fighting morale
Starting point is 00:30:14 when finally admitted. So they follow the travels of Zelensky. He takes a European tour. Then he goes to the Middle East. Then he goes to the Arab League meeting. Then the French military jet flies him to the G7 meeting in Hiroshima. And all the talk at G7 was about when they were going to be officially given F-16s. Now, this should concern us all, how this is a relentless push for war.
Starting point is 00:30:44 And there is no interest at all in pushing this back. As a matter of fact, even though he went to the Arab League, you had Viktor Orban of Hungary went to the Qatar Economic Forum. And on the first day he was there, he was interviewed and he said, Ukraine cannot win the war against Russia. He said, there will be no victory for the poor Ukrainians. He's exactly right. It'll be a victory for Zelensky.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Win, lose, or draw, he's going to be feted. He may become like the Shah of Iran in exile or something. But he'll go to all the Cannes Film Festivals and all the awards, whatever happens with this. But the people will be sacrificed for him. So he said he has pushed against the mainstream European Union approach. He's pursued peaceful negotiations.
Starting point is 00:31:44 And Orban said this, the only solution is a ceasefire. And then after the ceasefire, peace talks should start. Hungary was in talks with Qatar to buy gas in an effort to reduce its reliance on Russia for energy and to help in financing the Budapest airport. It had been pressed over the question of Hungary blocking more defense aid to Ukraine from Europe. And in that context, he asserted that ultimately Russia and the U.S. must make a deal to end the war, which is the only way out. This is why I had to say, looking at the reality, the figures, the surroundings,
Starting point is 00:32:21 the fact that NATO is not ready to send troops, it is obvious that there is no victory for the poor Ukrainians on the battlefield. That's my position. He said the war can be stopped only if the Russians can make an agreement with the U.S. In Europe, we're not happy with that, but it is the only way out. He said the only way that they're going to win it is if NATO troops get directly involved. And he said, they're not willing to do that. I hope they aren't. And so as we see, I don't know if this is going to be the, um, the start of their offense. We see a
Starting point is 00:32:56 small sabotage of a attack that, uh, uh, happened on Monday that may, um, that may give them the morale booster to think that some kind of an offense has started, but it was very small. It was all done with American supplied equipment and there was a back and forth, you know, narrative of propaganda and lies from, you know, the, uh, both sides over this thing as to what was happening with it. Uh, the Ukrainians were saying that it was a Russian paramilitary group that was anti-war that was anti-Putin that was there. Uh, the, um, Russians were saying, no, it's Ukrainians. And then, uh, what happened to the Ukrainian narrative was photographs showed up. They showed them driving U.S. armored vehicles.
Starting point is 00:33:49 So the Russians had said it's Ukrainians, and they've got American vehicles. And as you look at the inventory here, they had five American vehicles, armored and Hummers and stuff like that. But it was five American vehicles, one Ukrainian vehicle. They said it was Ukrainian troops. The bottom line is this is a way for them, just like the travels of Zelensky, it's a way for them to distract the public's attention from a defeat and make it look like they are opening up some new agenda.
Starting point is 00:34:26 They had several Humvees in addition to those five armored vehicles and cargo cars that were captured. So it was all American vehicle, all American equipment. And, um, uh, it appears that yet again, the Ukrainians were caught in their lives over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian troops have shelled about 20 communities in the Belgorod region. They've been dropping explosives via drones on residential buildings. Some 29 residential buildings and three vehicles have been damaged. Power outages have been registered in 14 populated localities and so forth.
Starting point is 00:35:03 So it is, you know, by war terms, it is a minor skirmish. But I just want to point out again that it's this weekend in Kingston, New York, that Gerald Salenti will be doing his annual Occupy Peace rally that's there. And, you know, he has entertainment and other things like that. So if you can make it to support Occupy Peace, of course, he also takes donations. It's very expensive for him to put it on. And I'll also say that if you want to get 10% off
Starting point is 00:35:35 of his excellent Trends Journal, massive publication, hundreds of pages, it puts out every week, but of course, they're easily accessed by article, and it's in a magazine format. You can get 10% off of Trends Journal. Just use the code NIGHT. These days, life is all... Luckily, with Bank of Ireland's current account and Visa debit card, you get all your day-to-day banking covered for just six euro a month. So you can tap, pay, and send in euro with no surprises. Easy. Search Bank of Ireland current account to be right back. Stay with us. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Starting point is 00:37:04 You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, let the beauty parade of the baby elephants begin. We have a bunch of people jumping in to the presidential race this weekend. I know you want to talk about it. So we will talk about it a little bit. There are some things to be learned. One of them is don't make the presidential race the cane that you lean on because it will break and pierce your hand. We have had that happen to us more than once.
Starting point is 00:37:42 I can show you the scars on my hands. No, you do not want to make that what you focus on. So we have DeSantis tonight is going to be announcing his 2024 run on Twitter with Elon Musk. Now I find that to be interesting. It'll be at 6 p.m. Eastern time. I think it's interesting because he's doing it on Twitter, doing it with Musk. That's an interesting place. That's very different.
Starting point is 00:38:07 As a reminder, back in November, Musk said that he would support DeSantis if he ran for president. He said, my preference for the 2024 presidency is someone who's sensible and centrist. I had hoped that that would be the case for the Biden administration, but I've been disappointed so far, he said. When asked if he would support DeSantis, he said yes. He said, as a reminder, I was a significant supporter of the Obama-Biden presidency and reluctantly voted for Biden over Trump, he said. You see, he will vote for whoever gives him money. That's how he became a billionaire, is crony capitalism.
Starting point is 00:38:46 And by implementing the agendas that these people want whether you're talking about their space program that they need you know that's one of the things i just i keep looking back i should get the guy on who wrote the book about that somebody sent me the book but um about the fake moonshot as i said the the guy who used to be the head of the Russian space program, he goes, why is it that they're struggling to do now what they did, claim that they did 60 years ago with technology that was far, far, far less advanced than it is today? Why is that the case?
Starting point is 00:39:17 How were they able to do that? Why did they never go back in 60 years? Why are they struggling today even with their technology to do it? And of course, there's good evidence when you look at some of the photographs and you look at the shadows of some of the things that are there. How do the shadows, the shadows would all be facing the same direction unless you've got multiple light sources that you've set up. Anyway, but, you know, he's doing that for them,
Starting point is 00:39:42 and he is putting up the satellites for them, and he's the neural link for them, or maybe for his real master mind control, transhumanism, cyborgs, all the rest of the stuff. So yeah, I'm not on board with these presidential candidates and I'm certainly not on board with these billionaires who are behind them. Musk said that he is not planning to endorse any particular candidate. Uh, but he did say that DeSantis will have quite an announcement on Twitter tonight at 6 PM. I think it's a power play for Twitter.
Starting point is 00:40:15 As a matter of fact, you know, I think it's, uh, it's good for DeSantis to do it this way. It's a different thing. It's probably going to get a lot more attention than if he went on CNN or Fox news to go onto Twitter, he'll get a lot more attention and It's probably going to get a lot more attention than if he went on CNN or Fox news to go onto Twitter, he'll get a lot more attention. And it's also going to be a way for Musk to tweak Trump over social media. He knows that Trump is not going to come back.
Starting point is 00:40:35 So he's not worried about offending Trump. Trump has spent weeks attacking DeSantis and truth, social posts and an ads on national television. Uh, the attack ads, uh, some of them, uh,
Starting point is 00:40:50 actually talk about policy. Imagine that rather than just calling them names, you attack DeSantis for a national sales tax, pushing that while he was in Congress. Um, look, you know, I've seen,
Starting point is 00:41:03 uh, people talking about, uh, doing, you know, I've seen people talking about doing, you know, a national sales tax or a fair tax or all these different types of things. The key issue is we spend too much money. We don't need to be looking at novel ways to collect tax. And if you're not going to do anything about the budget, and if you don't care about the budget, we were lectured by Paul Krugman again on Keynesian economics and the difference between macroeconomics and microeconomics, which I always thought was BS when I was in school and they were teaching that. It's like, no, I don't agree with that. You know, I think that, you know, the whole, here's the fundamental idea behind all this stuff. The modern monetary theory, Keynesnesian economics the idea that deficits don't matter well they do
Starting point is 00:41:49 they have an oppressive effect on us when it gets up to the area of 30 to 40 trillion dollars and the interest rates start going up we'll see if that theory holds up that deficits don't matter deficits do matter when you make them astronomical you can't even service them that's the issue and uh i used to always talk about it in the sense that to say they don't matter is to say that uh you got to worry about the weight of this boulder that is over your head you want to go back to looney tunes analogy but if the boulder is really really big you don't have to worry about it right and that's what they're telling us as we're running off of the cliff and think that we're still running and then at some point in time you look down you see
Starting point is 00:42:34 there's nothing beneath you and then you fall down and then the 16 ton anvil from acme falls down on you as well you know that's the type of thing. But look, the big issue is I would prefer if we were starting, you know, a tax and going with the assumption that they're not going to fix the federal government's bloated gargantuan size, at least the sales tax is something that is anonymous. As long as you don't have CBDC, maybe they will go to it once they get CBDC. See, I think the income tax has always been a way of getting information on people. It's a way of attacking their political enemies because they have a law that is so complex, it's the same as having no law at all. That's why everybody is concerned about the audits from these 87,000 IRS agents.
Starting point is 00:43:27 Because if the law is sufficiently complex, it's the same as having no law. It's just how I interpret it. Who are you to say? You know, everybody's got their own interpretation of it. And I've talked to Joe Bannister, agentfortruth.com, who was a criminal investigation internal revenue agent for a while. And then he started investigating some of these claims. But while he was still working as an agent, they had to have an annual audit. And there was an individual there who was not happy about the fact that he got to carry
Starting point is 00:43:59 a gun, he got to travel, he got a higher pay grade and all the rest of the stuff. So this particular individual decided that they were going to punish him. Now, in this society where everybody gets canceled for their political or religious beliefs, why should we be concerned today about 87,000 IRS agents with the authority to make your life hell, even if you paid all your taxes and you made a good faith effort. So this person decided that they were going to punish Banister, and so Joe Banister. So full audit was there, and he had actually overpaid,
Starting point is 00:44:38 and he got money back as he contested that. And I've heard that story from many people. But they use the audits as a weapon i don't like the income tax at all and a sales tax will be better but understand that when these people start talking about a sales tax they're going to put that on in addition to an income tax in my opinion and when they talk about a sales tax, they're very likely to do something like the value added tax that you have in Europe, where they add a sales tax every level of production or, you know, all through the supply chain, all through the delivery process, not just at the final retail sale. They add it throughout all of that. And the problem is, is that your taxes need to be transparent.
Starting point is 00:45:25 You need to be able to see exactly how much it's costing. But that's what the government does. It multiplies the taxation level by putting a whole bunch of different taxes and fees everywhere. It's death by a thousand cuts. If you saw the overall tax bill, you would really freak out. The income tax itself is bad enough. But getting back to the billionaires, Elon Musk meets Emmanuel Macron for talks in France,
Starting point is 00:45:53 and that happened, of course, on May 15th. They got together. He verified that Tesla and French officials have been discussing boosted investment for more than a year. Again, Tesla is his effort to push through the Green New Deal for them and to push through the green new deal for them and to push through the idea that we don't want to have people owning their cars, we're going to have them driven automatically and all the rest of
Starting point is 00:46:15 this stuff, but also it's the speech issue. What were they talking about besides Tesla? What were they talking about in terms of free speech? Because we know that France in general and Macron in particular really are leading in the persecution of free speech. No doubt about it. Musk recently incensed European regulators with his libertarian approach to content regulations as a new American
Starting point is 00:46:43 that contradicts the EU's Digital Services Act. Approved in April of 2022, the DSA aims to create an unprecedented new standard for the accountability of online platforms regarding illegal and harmful. And that is, as the new American points out, that is a very elastic term. It's malleable. They'll stretch it to fit whatever they wish. And so they're going to be weaponizing this in a big way. It's about to hit. As I said before, I think that's one of the key reasons why Musk needed to get a different CEO at Twitter. They've got to go woke.
Starting point is 00:47:22 And he doesn't want his conservative fan base to get upset with him. So he hired a CEO. She can take the hit for this. They're going to have to comply with this or they're going to have to shut down. Macron hitherto articulated the concerns about Musk's style of content moderation on Twitter since the billionaire bought the platform. Emmanuel Macron said, transparent user policies, significant reinforcement of content moderation and protection of freedom of speech efforts have to be made by Twitter to comply with European regulations. And last November, Thierry Breton, the European commissioner for the internal market, has traveled more than once, actually, to see Elon Musk.
Starting point is 00:48:10 He did it right after the announcement that Musk was going to, Twitter must adhere to a checklist of rules, including ditching an arbitrary approach to reinstating banned users, pursuing disinformation, quote, aggressively, unquote, and agreeing to, quote, an extensive independent audit of the platform next year. So the European Union is going to take control of speech globally is what they're going to do. Because if you do not do that, he was warned that they will fine him up to 6% of global turnover if he breaches the law. Now, I don't know what they mean by global turnover.
Starting point is 00:49:05 I would imagine that means gross sales there. And so he's the billionaire that supposedly is laying down $45 billion to protect our free speech, right? That's what I hear from conservative media outlets all the time that don't want to get canceled. Well, I don't agree with that. But anyway, the Republican mega donors, meanwhile, who is lining up behind DeSantis? As the prices of running for office to get elected for president keep soaring, in 2016,
Starting point is 00:49:39 presidential candidates spent about $2.2 billion. In 2020, it jumped to $6.6 billion. Went up threefold, 300% or so. And I give this, they don't mention this metric in the Daily Wire. Go back to the 2000 election, Al Gore and George W. Bush. Al Gore accused Bush of buying the election because Bush and his political action, his PACs, political action committees, the PACs, spent over $100 million.
Starting point is 00:50:19 Total. Total. And Al Gore only had $60 million that he spent. The two of them together spent $160 million and all the packs associated with him. 16 years later, it's up to 2.2 billion. And then four years after that, it triples again. It's going up exponentially.
Starting point is 00:50:41 We have given too much power to Washington, and it's become a black hole. And it's drawing in all the money in the universe and all the corruption and influence peddling that is happening there. It's because of the money. It's really a metric of corruption. Why do people give so much money to this? Well, the billionaires who are backing this
Starting point is 00:51:04 know that the federal government has gotten so pervasive and so intrusive that they have to have an alliance with the federal government in order to be able to do business. Elon Musk's alliance with not just the Washington government, but with the French government and the Chinese government and every government on earth, that's how he became the world's richest man by his alliance with government, do what the government says, and they will give you money. And that is the pattern globally. And nowhere is it worse than here in America and Washington. Yet another wealthy Republican financier is bailing on Trump and instead is backing Florida Republican Ron DeSantis in the 2024 election.
Starting point is 00:51:50 And so when you go through and you look at this, there's all these articles that say, well, this billionaire is for this guy. This one is for that one. They've moved from this candidate to that candidate. And that really is where it is. This is far more important, folks, than any of these opinion polls, especially at this point. Opinion polls can be rigged.
Starting point is 00:52:09 The important thing is who are the billionaires that are backing these candidates? Because these billionaires are going to be the ones telling them what to do as well. If you want to know what they're going to do, take a look at the billionaires behind them and what their agenda is. And that's one of the reasons why they're going to push, like Trump did, pushing 5 5g pushing gun control and doing the lockdown and giving the money to the pharmaceutical industries
Starting point is 00:52:34 all the rest of stuff the federal government's not just the the executive branch of alphabet industries has been captured the entire federal government has had regulatory capture. It is a regulatory oppressive regime, and it's for sale to the highest bidder. Hal Lambert, founder of Texas-based Point Bridge Capital, thinks that the GOP needs to move on from Trump. He says, I'm in for DeSantis this time. I plan to do a lot to help DeSantis win, he told the New York Post. Ron is good at giving a message. His wife, Casey, is amazing. She'll be a real asset. He said, Trump's performance during a recent CNN town hall left a bad taste in his mouth. What voters who didn't vote for Trump in 2020 are going to vote for him this time based
Starting point is 00:53:23 on that performance? I don't think anyone will. He said, we can't talk about things from four years ago that can't be changed. Trump is going to have a difficult time winning the general election. The election won't be about Biden's bad record. It will be a referendum on Trump instead. I agree. He's not saying this, however, because he is civic-minded. None of these guys are.
Starting point is 00:53:50 All these guys are in it for themselves, these billionaires. They love money. The love of money is root of all evil. A wise man once said that, didn't he? Jesus did. But he's right about the fact that we can't keep looking backwards. And that's what the MAGA people are doing. And so let's make America 2020 again. That's all you hear from these people.
Starting point is 00:54:12 They have absolutely as upset as they are about the corruption in the election. And I am too. I see it, but they have absolutely no solutions. Instead, you know, they want to have this trial from Carrie Lake and this one from Trump. And let's take a look at this and But they have absolutely no solutions. Instead, you know, they want to have this trial from Kerry Lake and this one from Trump,
Starting point is 00:54:27 and let's take a look at this and that. They have absolutely no solutions for any of this stuff. Instead, they just want to go back and relitigate. Oh, but this candidate should have won. No, change the system. But the Republicans don't want to change the system. They just think that they can out-hack. As Trump has said, we're going to do a better job of ballot harvesting this time than the Democrats did.
Starting point is 00:54:46 He's going to leave in the corruption that he's responsible for having put in place. And it says we're going to do a better job of the corruption. Now, we can't make America 2020 again. We need to stop looking backwards because if we keep looking backwards, we can't see what's coming at us. And that's the problem with the MAGA people. They don't see what's coming at us. And Trump isn't talking about what's coming at us and that's the problem with the MAGA people they don't see what's coming at us and Trump isn't talking about what is coming at us you know people say hindsight is 20-20 well certainly is true now Trump is hind sight and so all the stuff that that
Starting point is 00:55:17 billionaire said is true however again you look at who's going to be controlling everything. Trump might be worth $2.5 billion, but the Don does not like to spend his own cash. Like any real estate flipper, he uses other people's money. OPM, other people's money. GOP mega donors Robert Mercer and Rebecca Mercer have no current plans to help Trump's 2024 campaign for the White House. According to people familiar with the matter, reports CNBC, the Mercers were among Trump's major benefactors during his first run for president 2016. They're distancing themselves from the president's third White House bill bid. Yeah, well, you know, maybe they didn't like what happened in 2020.
Starting point is 00:56:04 I say, you know, when you't like what happened in 2020 i say you know when you go back and look at 2020 again i you know even as as fixated as all the manga people are on that i hated everything that trump did in 2020 every bit of it was a betrayal that's why i call him benedict donald but um you know it's still about the billionaires. Who do they support? Citadel CEO, Ken Griffin, a wealthy New Yorker says, I'd like to think the Republican party is ready to move on from somebody who has been for this party, a three-time loser, and he will be the fourth time loser. That's why the Democrats are throwing one thing after another legal issues at him one after the other.
Starting point is 00:56:48 That isn't going to make any difference to his rabid fan base, but it will make a difference to the people who hate him, and it'll make a difference to the people who are in the middle. That's what it's going to make a difference about. So let's see if we can talk a little bit about some of the some of the issues here by the way when we talk about the billionaires Larry Ellison the fourth richest man in the world Larry Ellison is behind Oracle Larry Ellison was given a box seat and a shout out from Tim Scott at his announcement.
Starting point is 00:57:27 And Larry Ellison has already put tens of millions of dollars into that race and political action committees. Because they can, yeah, political action committee, they have all these rules about how much you can give a candidate, right? And yet there's no rules as to how much you can put into a political action committee. So they create this thing over there. It creates a trap for people who don't know what the rules are, outsiders or newcomers to politics. Dinesh D'Souza was caught into that trap, essentially, and viciously punished for that. So they set this structure up so that if you give in the wrong way,
Starting point is 00:58:08 they can send you to jail. But if you do it in the right way, you can give as much as you want. It's kind of the way they set up the income tax code, isn't it? So we'll talk a little bit about that. But what is it that Larry Ellison wants from Tim Scott? We have been given some clues from Ellison himself. We'll get to that in a moment. Let's talk a little bit about DeSantis, though.
Starting point is 00:58:32 And, of course, he, on Monday, I mentioned that the National Religious Broadcasters, the NRB, had their annual convention. It was in Orlando. Ron DeSantis spoke there. I talked about it in terms of their concern about censorship rules that were being imposed in California. They were very concerned about that. But Ron DeSantis went there,
Starting point is 00:58:59 and he's got a very strong case for the Christian community. I can see them leaving Trump and all of his... For the longest time, they say, well, we'll hold our nose and vote for Trump. They don't have to hold their nose. They can actually get behind DeSantis, who's actually got a record of doing things. Trump had never done anything like that.
Starting point is 00:59:21 As a matter of fact, he didn't while he was president. Melania Trump bragged that Trump was the first president to come into office supporting homosexual marriage. They talked about his identity politics in terms of people that he put into office. They've held parties and soirees at Mar-a-Lago as Biden was, you know, uh, wrote a law, uh, to, uh, about homosexual Mirage, uh, Mirage, they had their party at Mar-a-Lago. So Trump is all on board with the LGBT agenda and never had a, um, a record of pushing back against it. And again, DeSantis is not pushing back against the adults. He's pushing back against the ones who are coming for the kids,
Starting point is 01:00:08 and that's what this has all become about. You have other organizations, Gays Against Groomers, and they are pushing back against the fact that this has now turned into pedophilia. But all of these people who are wounded about this stuff, they all say that, oh, you're coming for me. No, we're trying to keep you away from the kids. You're coming for the kids, and we're going to stand, put government between
Starting point is 01:00:33 you and the kids. But it's also what is happening in schools, and especially in colleges. DeSantis, not at the NRB, but in another speech, you talked about what they're doing to stop this diversity, inclusivity, and equity stuff. That's the order I put it in because it spells out die. Here's DeSantis about that. First bill that I'll be signing is SB 266. And what this does is reorient our universities back to their traditional mission. And part of that traditional mission is to treat people as individuals, not to try to divvy them up based on any type of superficial characteristics. We're going to elevate merit and achievement above identification with certain groups. And in order to do that, we had to look at this new concept,
Starting point is 01:01:26 relatively new concept, called diversity, equity, and inclusion. And I didn't know much. I mean, this is something relatively recent. I mean, Chris Ruvio can talk about when this really started to percolate. I think it had probably been there a few years ago, but then kind of the post-BLM rioting and the George Floyd summer of 2020, I think you saw it really take off. And on its face, I mean, when I see diversity, I think like, you know, different viewpoints have a robust academic discussion in the university. Isn't that what they're for? In reality, what this concept of DEI has been is to attempt to impose orthodoxy on the university, and not even necessarily in the classroom, but through the administrative apparatus of the university itself,
Starting point is 01:02:13 and that manifests itself in a number of different ways. But this has basically been used as a veneer to impose an ideological agenda, and that is wrong. And in fact, if you look at the way this has actually been implemented across the country, DEI is better viewed as standing for discrimination, exclusion, and indoctrination. And that has no place in our public institutions. All right. So, you know, when it comes to the Marxist activities of this intersectional ranking, you know, they put you in different boxes, often based on immutable characteristics, such as your skin color or your gender is only two, and they are immutable. Many other things like that, right?
Starting point is 01:03:08 They put you in these boxes and then they rank the boxes. Some of them are good, some of them are bad, and they rank everybody with that. But it is a Marxist agenda. He's pushed back against that. He's actually done things about that. He says we've done more to protect children than any other state in the country. That's true.
Starting point is 01:03:20 Still haven't done enough. Much more should have been done sooner. Whether we're talking about the vaccines or the rest of this stuff but he has done more about it we talk about abortion trump is out there simultaneously bragging about roe v wade being overturned but then saying these pro-life people uh they're a problem they're extremists, what they want to do is just too harsh. Well, DeSantis said, when we are acting to protect an unborn child that has a detectable heartbeat, that is humane.
Starting point is 01:03:54 That is not harsh. That is the right thing to do. You know what Trump is doing with, um, Roe v. Wade with abortion issue, the pro-life issue, it's just amazing how tone deaf the guy is to everyone except his blind fan base. It's just like his bragging over and over again about the vaccine, even to the extent that people booed him on it. But then they will still pay money to see him and they'll still support him.
Starting point is 01:04:24 And that's exactly what he's doing. When will these people be able to connect the dots about Trump, whether you're talking about warp speed and the vaccines and that depopulation agenda or the other depopulation agenda that he's a hundred percent on board with the abortion stuff, when will they ever be able to connect those dots? I think, you know, Abraham Lincoln said you can fool some of the people all of the time. Uh, today we call them MAGA. Uh, he said his administration is taking a stand for families by making sure that the Florida school system is providing kids with an education, not with an
Starting point is 01:05:00 indoctrination, you see, let's, let's not try to fix this thing. Let's end it. Government should have no role in education. And it will assume a role if it gives you money. That's what I was saying about North Carolina at the beginning of the program. He said parents have a right to know what the curriculum is and what is being used in their kids' classrooms or being used in their library. Well, if you're not there, how are we going to know? You remember, Travis, when we did the Disney Cruise, Karen's parents' 50th anniversary?
Starting point is 01:05:36 You know, they wanted to give you a bracelet. And they told us, they said, you know, just turn the kids over to us. And, you know, you can go do your own thing. It was billed as a family cruise. We've got all these activities for the family to do. And yet, you know, we said to them, okay, so what activities do you have for the family to do? Well, we put this bracelet on your kids, and you give them to us, and we've got all kinds of activities for them. And then we've got all kinds of activities for you to do.
Starting point is 01:06:06 I said, no, we're not going to do that. You don't have anything that we can do together? Well, no. So we looked at some of the kids' activities and they had like this science lab thing. And we said, well, okay, that looks pretty cool. We'll do that. But we went there and we said, we want to stay and watch what is happening. We didn't say we want to stay and watch what's happening because we don't trust you and I'm not going to turn my kids over to a total stranger.
Starting point is 01:06:34 But that was what it was about. And they said, well, nobody's ever done that before. I guess we could do that. But, you know, nobody has ever asked to do that before. So we stood there, we watched the activities, made sure that we knew what they were doing. And it was nice, but there's absolutely no way, even in those days before Disney became known for grooming kids with their LGBT agenda, there was absolutely no way that I was just going to turn my kids over to some total strangers.
Starting point is 01:07:05 And that's what you're doing with a school. You're doing it all day, day after day. The only thing you know about these people is they've been hired by the government. Do they do any kinds of background checks? No, no, not at all. So, you know, that's always been our perspective. I'm not turning my kids over to a stranger, and I would advise you not to do the same thing either. DeSantis touts, he talks about Supreme Court and the power that the president is going to have with the Supreme Court. And he made an interesting point, I thought, you know,
Starting point is 01:07:41 because DeSantis is coming from a legal background. DeSantis has suggested that he could possibly put in a conservative majority that would last for a quarter of a century. I would expect him to do a better job of appointing somebody. Certainly, well, I don't know. I mean, depending on what the people who are telling him what to do. But certainly, DeSantis, if he wants to stick to a particular set of values, I would suspect that he'd be able to suss that out better than most of the presidents with his legal background. But he said this could last for a quarter of a century.
Starting point is 01:08:17 Again, on Monday, when he was talking to the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Orlando, he said there's a good chance, and this is an interesting thing to think about, good chance that conservative justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, who are 74 and 73, could retire sometime within the next two presidential terms. It's a really good chance. And as you add eight years to them okay you're talking about uh claire's thomas being 82 uh samuel alito being 81 it's a good chance that they will be retired either by themselves or by god at that point in time he said both trump and biden could only serve one more term in the White House.
Starting point is 01:09:06 So they're only going to be there for four years. What he's saying is, if I got elected, there's a good chance most presidents do get reelected. Biden even has an advantage. As much as people don't like him, he's got an advantage as an incumbent. He says, if I was their new president for two terms, and that would apply on the other side as well. If Biden drops out at the last minute, whoever is there, it's going to be there for two terms. He says, so it's possible in those eight years,
Starting point is 01:09:34 we got the opportunity to fortify justices. He said, it might even be possible to, uh, to replace Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. They're 68 and 63. So I don't think that's likely to happen. 76 and 71. Uh, Roberts is also 68. Uh, so, um, you know, he would be the same ages as them.
Starting point is 01:10:00 You know, he would be 76 by the end of these eight years. So, you know, when Sotomayor is 68 and Kagan is 63 now, they would only be in their early to mid-70s. Roberts would be in his mid-70s. It's possible. You know, Roberts seems to be very unhappy with the current makeup of the court. Maybe he would retire. That'd be a great thing.
Starting point is 01:10:21 And, of course, Ron DeSantis hit out at Roberts. He knows that he is not a Republican. He knows that he's not on the, uh, conservative side. He said, if you replace a Clarence Thomas with somebody like a Roberts or somebody like that, then you're going to actually see the court move to the left and you can't do that. And he got a lot of applause from the NRB because we all know that, even though the other people don't want to talk about it. Let's talk a little bit about Scott, Tim Scott.
Starting point is 01:10:51 By the way, I didn't mention this when he came out, but I thought that it was, I think it's interesting to note that Scott was appointed by Nikki Haley. I said when he came out, I said, threw his hat in the ring, I said, I think that both Nikki Haley and Tim Scott are in the vice presidential sweepstakes. I think they're running for vice president. I don't think they've got a chance,
Starting point is 01:11:16 even though he's got some big financial backing from Larry Ellison. Almost all of his money has come from Larry Ellison. I still don't think that they have a chance of winning. But it's interesting that Nikki Haley appointed him to the Senate to replace Jim DeMint, who was a senator from South Carolina when Jim DeMint went to the Heritage Foundation to run it. He retired, and it was the middle of his term. And so Nikki Haley appointed Tim Scott to take his place. He's been reelected since then, of course.
Starting point is 01:11:46 But, you know, when I look at the Veep stakes, and again, you have to say that Trump is obviously way out in front right now. If Trump gets the nomination and the Democrats are going to do everything they can to make sure that he does get the nomination, because they know that he is the one person that can definitely defeat in the general election. If Trump were to get the nomination, uh, Nikki Haley, when I look at it, Nikki Haley is the one person besides Trump on the Republican side. I would never support Nikki Haley would take us straight to world war three.
Starting point is 01:12:22 She is the biggest neocon since John McCain. She's exactly like that. And a very dangerous person. So it does give me pause to see that Nikki Haley appointed Tim Scott to that position. But let's talk about the billionaire behind Tim Scott. Larry Ellison, Oracle. Been planning to support his bid. He's donated already $30 million
Starting point is 01:12:47 to a super PAC to support Tim Scott. Ellison was there at the announcement in a VIP section. He called him out. He said, one of my mentors, Larry Ellison, is with us today. A mentor, a mentor. Well, he's a donor.
Starting point is 01:13:05 He's a supporter. He's a supporter. He's the guy that he has to please. So what is it that Ellison likes about Tim Scott? Well, he likes the fact that Scott is a strong supporter of Israel and his promotion of school choice, according to many reports. That's what Ellison says he likes about him. And again, as I mentioned before, he is the fourth richest person in the world, according to many reports. That's what Ellison says he likes about him. And again, as I mentioned before, he is the fourth richest person in the world, according to Forbes.
Starting point is 01:13:29 In 2016, Larry Ellison donated $5 million to a PAC that supported Marco Rubio. Yeah. He also, in 2010, donated $5 million to the Opportunity Matters Fund and $1 million towards a PAC that supported Senator Susan Collins, one of the most left-leaning Republican senators that we have, Susan Collins. So he's supported Marco Rubio, Susan Collins, and he's now supporting Tim Scott. And that starts to tell us a little bit about where Tim Scott is
Starting point is 01:14:06 on the political spectrum. As he did his announcement, he talked about his life and he's got a great life story. He's got a great life story to push back against people who are demanding reparations. He talks about how his mother worked 16 hours a day to support him. And, um, you know, raised in poverty by a single mother in a single bedroom, small apartment.
Starting point is 01:14:35 I've gone from that to maybe one day, uh, to a one day serving in the people's house, and then maybe even into the white house, he said, for those of you who wonder if it's possible for a broken kid from a broken home to rise above those circumstances, the answer is yes. So he's got a great personal story, but is this about a beauty contest? What are the policies that he supports?
Starting point is 01:14:57 That's why I began with a baby elephant walk. I mean, that's what everybody wants to look at. Oh, we love Trump because he was a celebrity. He had the apprentice and everybody was, you know, coming to him and bowing before him. And he had, you know, it's this type of thing that people buy into the personal stories. And of course, I think it is important for us to look at their personal story to see if they have any character or any integrity.
Starting point is 01:15:22 As we saw with Trump, he didn't. Right. Three marriages. And it's not just that he had divorces. He was the cause of the divorce in each of those. If they have any character or any integrity, as we saw with Trump, he didn't. Right? Three marriages, and it's not just that he had divorces. He was the cause of the divorce in each of those. And not only that, but he just rubbed his ex-wife's nose into the ground as he was doing it. So he said, I will be the president. This is Tim Scott. I will be the president who destroys the liberal lie that our country is evil.
Starting point is 01:15:46 Well, good. He said, we need to stop canceling our founding fathers, and we need to start celebrating them. How are you going to do that? How are you going to do that? Because the government, especially the Federal Department of Education, has devoted a lot of time and money to creating this institution to teach kids to hate America with critical race theory
Starting point is 01:16:03 and the Marxist theories behind that, to push them for a revolution. How is he going to do that? Is he going to kill the Department of Education? Well, silence about that. He talks about a lot of different things, but he doesn't say how he's going to do any of that, which is typical.
Starting point is 01:16:16 You see this typically from the candidates. This is why if you look at who is giving them money, you get more of an insight. He said, finally, my grandfather's stubborn faith was not just faith in the goodness of our nation. It was faith in the goodness of our God himself. I will be president who stops the far left's assault on our religious liberty.
Starting point is 01:16:37 Again, how are you going to do that? You need to get rid of the schools. That's where the attack is coming from. Government involvement with schools, especially the federal government involvement with schools. But he doesn't say anything about shutting down the Department of Education. Ronald Reagan ran on that. It had just been created by Jimmy Carter. I think he created it the year they had the election.
Starting point is 01:16:59 But, you know, he didn't. He grew it. He said, on my first day as commander in chief, he said, uh, the strongest nation on earth will stop retreating from our own Southern border. Well, what's he going to do about that? Uh, nothing. He doesn't say he talks about how the border is a problem. We all know the border is a problem.
Starting point is 01:17:20 What are you going to do? Trump said he was going to build a wall. Uh, did that work? You know, take a look at this. This is a picture that went out. This is people climbing over the wall. Imagine that. That's what I said from day one.
Starting point is 01:17:33 I said, how's a wall going to help? People will climb over. Well, here's a guy. He's climbing over. He drops one kid down, and that kid is okay. And then he drops what we later learned was a four-year-old, and that four-year-old is not okay. It carries the four-year-old off, and the four-year-old is limp.
Starting point is 01:17:55 And so this is video that's being watched by law enforcement. They get to the site to help this four-year-old child that you're going to see dropped here, and I mean dropped. And here comes the four-year-old child that you're going to see dropped here and i mean dropped and here comes a four-year-old kid dropping down they got there to render assistance and as they came to now they speed this up um because the other kid runs over there because the other and now the adult is dropping down you'll see the adult pick up the limp body of the four-year-old they said the four-year-old was taken for emergency treatment. Should be okay.
Starting point is 01:18:27 But at the same time, the people as the border agents went to give assistance at the wall, they were shot at. So you see, this whole thing about the wall, you can argue about it. I can show you pictures of people walking around the wall. It's a giant door is what it is. It's got a little bit of a wall here and a little bit of wall over there, but it's hundreds or more than a thousand miles of an open door. It was not done. It would not be effective if it were done. He's not talking about cutting back the welfare state, even for people who are here illegally as citizens of other countries.
Starting point is 01:19:08 Again, it's about the problems, but there's no solutions. So as he's focusing on his personal story, Larry Elder came out, Larry Elder is a black commentator and he's came out with his, he's running for president. He says, I'm running as an American.
Starting point is 01:19:27 He bashes the media fixation on black Republicans. He said, uh, now that Tim Scott's gotten in, everybody is calling me up. You know, he introduced, he started his campaign, uh, about a month or so ago. And people were not calling him. Now they're calling him because of Tim Scott. I guess the problem is Larry Elder doesn't have any billionaires giving him money, you know, tens of millions of dollars at a time. He says, I'm running as American who is black to be president of the United
Starting point is 01:19:55 States, not to be a black president of the United States. He said, why is it that reporters asked me if as a fellow black conservative, do I have a reaction to the candidacy of Tim Scott? He said, often the question is phrased this way. You and Tim Scott are both black Republicans. What differentiates the two of you? He said, nobody said to Donald Trump or to Jeb Bush, you're both white Republicans. What distinguishes you two, right? He said, Senator Scott and I are both black. Neither of us thinks of himself as a victim, but we both have different backstories, a
Starting point is 01:20:29 different upbringing, different experiences, different ways of how we view the country and the world. I'm running as an American who's black to be president of the United States, not to be a black president of the United States. And of course, that is very key. And when you look at their position on issues, you can see why Tim Scott likes to talk about his own personal story and that alone. When they tried to nail him down on abortion, he was all over the place, just like Trump.
Starting point is 01:20:56 Well, I don't know if it's going to be this many weeks or that many weeks, but we've got to have a federal law, same position as Trump on all this. No, we don't need to have a federal law. We don't need the federal a federal law. We don't need the federal government to be defining life. We don't need the federal government to cut babies into three trimesters and literally tear them apart. We need somebody who's wise enough and has a backbone that they don't have a problem showing people what life and death looks like and talking about what this actually is.
Starting point is 01:21:30 Why are these people allowing the left to set the terms of the debate? The terms of the debate need to be about the babies, and that's what they always kick out. It's very easy for them to be able to do that. But it keeps getting bigger. We got Glenn Youngkin, who is now saying that he's thinking of jumping in. I guess he's saying that Santas has fallen on the poles so the baby elephant walk is going to continue to uh advance we'll be right back show we've got a problem what uh who are you it's the new mug they're selling at the david knight show. So, basically, a mug is something that holds liquid, right? Because basically you can't hold coffee with your hands, right?
Starting point is 01:22:11 I'm a scat in the, but anyone tries to mug me, I'm be ready for it. You dog-faced pony soldier. They say the mug can help patriots drink coffee, then save the world. This could be bad for us. Save the world? But we own the world. These people,
Starting point is 01:22:33 they're supporting free speech with every month they buy. Come on. These people, I tell you, well, anyway. You're listening to the David Knight show. Well, as we are selling mugs, target is selling something else.
Starting point is 01:22:54 Target is actually targeting kids. And you had a tick tock user who showed this. And of course the CEO is out there saying, well, we're very proud of this. This is our profit basis. This, uh, you know, as a diversity, inclusivity and equity, what I call die. It's not DEI, it's D I E put it in the right order. He says, no, this is helping us with profits. And we're going to continue to do this quietly.
Starting point is 01:23:19 However, there's many reports that they are telling the target stores in the south to completely do it right now. We don't want to go down the Bud Light Road. Do it right now. Pull out all of this Pride Month stuff and stick it in the back and make it smaller. But here's a person who, she took this, she's in California. Her name is Kaylee Campbell. She put this up on TikTok.
Starting point is 01:23:45 And she shows that they have transgender clothes for toddlers. As a matter of fact, they've even got some onesies. Yeah, that's how they want to come after the kids. We're at Target right now, and there's a lot of controversy going on about all of the pride stuff that's coming out with kids' clothes and things like that. So we're going to go to the kids' section, and we're actually going to see if they're putting weird creepy uncomfy stuff on children's clothing okay this is the child section this is literally the kids section I'm next to a literal onesie That says whatever the hell that means
Starting point is 01:24:26 We have glad you came out and I'm so happy that you're queer in the kids section. Are you kidding me? Okay, she's showing but pride and toddler don't belong in the same sentence So I found an extra small swimsuit in the child section. Says light binding effect on it. And then the bottoms in the kids section, keep in mind, say tuck friendly construction. They're giving it to your kids. If that doesn't give you a reason to boycott Target, I don't know what does. But this shit's getting out of hand.
Starting point is 01:25:03 They're targeting children, whether you like it or or not and it's time that people actually do something about it because if they don't then guess what that shit won't just be in target okay so the target's been getting a lot of complaints from customers the fox news reports that some southern target stores forced by the corporation to move the merchandise away from the front of the store to the back. As I mentioned, uh, June pride month displays, they said on an annual basis, but this year they've got tuck friendly bathing suits.
Starting point is 01:25:31 The, uh, target says, Oh, this is not for kids, but you just saw, uh, what Kaylee had there.
Starting point is 01:25:37 Uh, yeah, they are for kids and onesies and stuff like that. Uh, with slogans, a target insider told Fox News that many locations, mostly in areas of the rural South, have relocated Pride sections to avoid the kind of backlash
Starting point is 01:25:52 that Bud Light has received in recent weeks. A Target insider said there were, quote, emergency calls, unquote, on Friday, that some managers and district senior directors were told to tamp down the pride sections immediately. Quote, we were given 36 hours, told to make all of our pride stuff, the entire section, and move it into a section that's a third the size. From the front of the store to the back of the store,
Starting point is 01:26:19 you can't have anything on mannequins and no large signage, said the Target insider. We call our customers guests, and there is outrage on their part. This year, it is just exponentially more than any other year, because they do the Pride month every year, right? I think given the current situation with Bud Light, the company is terrified of the same situation. The insider, who has worked at the retailer for almost two decades, says Target rarely makes such hasty decisions.
Starting point is 01:26:46 They said Friday's call began with roughly 10 minutes on, quote, how to deal with team member safety. I think people are so angry that they're going to start physically attacking them. Because of the amount of backlash that the Pride merchandise has generated, noting that Target asset protection and corporate security
Starting point is 01:27:06 teams were present on the call and so it's not just some of that as people keep looking they find even more there at target and as i talked about you know a couple of days ago we talked about this the first time this has been going on for 20 years it's what we saw even going back and you know talk about the rural south going back into north carolina they were uh pushing this type of stuff they've been pushing to you know have genderless toys and all that sort of thing for quite some time they've taken the lead but now it has taken a turn into a more luciferian aspect. That's why I say the LGBT has now become Luciferian groomers, bigoted trannies. They have a Bible Girl 666 shirt as part of their Target Pride collection. You can see this online, as a matter of fact.
Starting point is 01:27:59 And I mentioned the story about the collaboration with a firm called Abpralin that promotes a lot of pride designs. And part of it is Satan respects pronouns. I like to put that out. The person who did it brags about how they follow Satan. One person said, I hope Wisconsin residents think twice before they give Target their business. And it's not just Christians and conservatives that are boycotting the chain. Again, it's gays against groomers. You ever stop and think about their acronym is GAG.
Starting point is 01:28:32 We all should be gagging about what is being done. A gays against groomers, an organization of gays against the sexualization, indoctrination, medicalization of children under the guise of LGBT. Because that's what has happened now. I talked about Andrew Sullivan who said, look, you have to understand the difference between the homosexuals and what today the people who call themselves radical queers. They're about destroying everything. They see everything as a social construct.
Starting point is 01:29:04 There is no truth. There is no reality to them. It's all a social construct. There is no truth. There is no reality to them. It's all a social construct that's been put together by the people in power. And so we have to push back against all that and eradicate all of that. These people are lovelers. They want to destroy everything. They're Marxists as well as sodomists. And that's what this is about.
Starting point is 01:29:23 It joins together. And so they said, this uh what you will find in the kids section of target we urge you to take your business elsewhere said gays against groomers they are indoctrinating and grooming them with the lgbt ideology it's highly inappropriate and disturbing they said and so um when you look at this, the question is, what are you going? How are you going to vote with this? One person tweeted out and said, my husband is not a boycott guy. I can't remember him ever participating in one. And he said, but when he saw this satanic pride gear today on targets site, he said,
Starting point is 01:30:01 without any prompting from me, we're done done with target this family does not shop there anymore so um he said one person put out boycott them not only have they gone all in on pride but now they've embraced a particularly satanic flavor of pride but again they've been doing this for decades as a matter of fact when you go back and look at it's not just target this is what we're seeing everywhere there's a Christian writer on a Facebook and you just put up a post this is his post and it got taken down as hateful by Facebook the guy's name is Billy Halliwell and said to him and says no one else can see your post we have these standards because we want everyone to feel safe respected respected, and welcome.
Starting point is 01:30:46 Oh, they do? Evidently not Christians, though. Your content goes against our community standards. Your account may be restricted or even disabled. If you disagree with this and you think you got it wrong, you can disagree with the decision if you think we got it wrong. Now, what did he put up? He put up a tweet that had six words in it. Billy Halliwell put up a tweet, not a tweet,
Starting point is 01:31:10 but he put up a Facebook post that said, Jesus died so you could live. Oh, they said, this violates our standards on hate, hate speech. So he appealed to them. And this is what he got back. He says, I appealed to Facebook, and this is their response. They accused me of violating hate speech, and they removed the post. He says, it's very, very bizarre. They said, sorry, we're unable to show content that goes against our community thing. And so they just, you know, it's kind of this bureaucratic thing that you get into with these censors at social media companies. They stood by that decision, kicked it out. One shirt in the Target's Pride collection says,
Starting point is 01:31:47 Pride Adult Drag Queen Bible Girl 666. Another commenter said about the husband who is going to boycott Target, good for him. So many people just sit by and say, whatever. And it allowed the crazies to go unchecked and to move the line. I'm glad that he found his line and I hope that he pushes back. Again, we had the CEO of Target in an interview with Fortune magazine.
Starting point is 01:32:20 The CEO's name is Brian Cornell. Despite facing sharp criticism, he said he approves of the campaign. He said, most of America shops at Target. So we want to do the right thing to support families across the country. Well, I don't think most of America is going to be shopping at Target anymore. We'll see about that. He said, I think those are just good business decisions. It's the right thing for society.
Starting point is 01:32:42 It's a great thing for our brand. You know, do things like BibleGirl666 and Hail Satan, I guess. The things we've done from a DEI standpoint have added value. It helps us to drive sales. It's building greater engagement with our team and our guests. And so as he's putting on a brave face and doubling down on this, you have these stores in southern areas are quickly moving a product
Starting point is 01:33:12 to try to hide what is being pushed on them. Here's the bottom line, folks. Target is revolting. Why aren't you? Why aren't you revolting against this stuff? Why aren't you revolting against these corporate Satanists who push this type of stuff on kids? And against the entertainment industry, for example.
Starting point is 01:33:31 Here is Lizzo. She has a concert in Omaha, Nebraska. They just had a new law to protect children. And so as part of her concert, she says to them, don't let any laws tell you who you not. That's the way she puts it. Here's Lizzo. And anybody who comes to a Lizzo show should know that I am for people to have the right to have care. Health care, is that what they're talking about? Mutilating kids? Aborting them, Mutilating them.
Starting point is 01:34:05 Healthcare. Gender affirming stuff. And look at the crowd clapping. That's the world we live in. As adults, we feel it because children hear it. Yeah, let me talk to the kids. Kids, we're coming for you. And it really breaks my heart that there are young people growing up in a world that doesn't protect them.
Starting point is 01:34:30 Yeah. Who wants to abort them, rip them to pieces, mutilate them. I'm going to take this face tonight and just tell you, young people, don't let anybody tell you who you are. Don't let any laws tell you who you're not, bitch. You have to be sorry for that, bitch. I'm just kidding. Well, that's about enough of that. There's times that I get very political, and as adults, we feel it.
Starting point is 01:34:59 But there are children here tonight. It really breaks my heart that there are young people growing up in a world that doesn't protect them. It breaks my heart that they're growing up in a world where the schools and the government and the entertainers, if you want to put her in that category, I guess those people find her entertaining. I don't know why. When they all come after the kids.
Starting point is 01:35:17 They want to abort them before birth. If that doesn't work, then they want to mutilate, sterilize them, drive them to suicide with their gender grooming um if that isn't luciferian i don't know what is now that is as bad or worse than anything you're going to find in target frankly but it's all part of the spectrum. It's all from people like Lizzo. I said, don't let anybody tell you who you are. Don't let anyone tell you who you're not.
Starting point is 01:35:52 You are who you are, okay? Well, are you? Can you look at physical reality and make a determination about who you are? Well, no, they tell you. No, they say it's all just a mind construct. It's just a social construct. And we have to destroy society, right? it's all just a mind construct. It's just a social construct. And we have to destroy society. That's their purpose. Destroy reality, destroy society.
Starting point is 01:36:12 No, gender is, as I've said many times, the answer to LGBT is B-O-B. Biological, objective, and binary. But people like Lizzo don't want you to see that. And they claim that they're protecting the kids. No, the people who are protecting the kids are people like the Nebraska governor and the Nebraska legislature who put together a law, signed the law on Monday, to outlaw so-called gender-affirming care. That's mutilation, sterilization of kids. To drive them to suicide. It's a depopulation agenda.
Starting point is 01:36:49 Gender-affirming care for minors, and that's the key point. This is all about minors. If Lizzo wants to do something to herself, she has the ability to do that. There aren't any laws coming after Lizzo, But Lizzo can't come after the kids. That's the point. You've got to keep the kids, keep people like her away from the kids. The law also restricts abortion at 12 weeks of pregnancy. It has exceptions for rape, incest, and cases where the mother's life is in danger.
Starting point is 01:37:20 Again, you know, when we look at this, there are so many people who there's no need to kill a baby that the mother says, even if the baby is a legitimate product of rape, you don't punish children for the sins of their fathers. There are plenty of people who would adopt a child like that. Don't ever let anybody tell you other than that. Fox News is not on your side.
Starting point is 01:37:45 Leaked information coming from, I think, some of the people who were fired that were part of the Tucker Carlson crowd. They kept quiet about it for years, but now they have leaked this to the Daily Signal. Fox News employees are allowed to use any bathroom that aligns with their gender identity, and everybody is going to have to use their preferred pronouns and all the rest of this stuff uh so you are to refer to dylan mulvaney and liar thompson by their assumed names and genders uh they drew a strong backlash if you remember back in june 2022 they did a segment i played that at the time
Starting point is 01:38:32 where they talked about a child and the child's gender transition they said it is an inspiration to others i i talked about that of course june 2022 tucker carlson did not talk about that but now his producers are putting out stuff like that because this is a back and war back and forth war between tucker carlson and fox news now putting out dirt on each other of course that segment also featured scott weiner uh this radical leftist pervert who wants to soften sex offender registry requirements for sodomy with minors and uh so, you know, he was putting out the line that the kids might commit suicide if they were blocked from doing that. No, it's just the opposite.
Starting point is 01:39:09 They're the ones who are driving the kids to suicide. They want you to think that this place, Fox News, supports traditional conservative values that a former producer for Tucker Carlson, but in reality, they're pushing this nonsense behind the scenes. Producers for the new 8 p.m. Fox News Tonight program were told not to bash Mulvaney. And that came from the highest level executives.
Starting point is 01:39:35 And they also talk about how the human rights campaign, the most prominent LGBT organization in the country, has given the highest possible marks to Fox News for many years. And yet Tucker's producers and Tucker said nothing about that while they were there. Well, I'm glad they're talking about it now. That's kind of what I said about the vaccine. You know, you're not going to see the Republicans say anything about the vaccine bad as long as Trump is there. When Trump is gone and Biden is out, they'll say a few things about it. But for the most part, they want to just focus on this virus that Michael Yadin says he's convinced it doesn't exist. I'm convinced it doesn't exist. And even if it ever existed, it is not anywhere near,
Starting point is 01:40:19 even in their biggest imagination, propaganda, manipulation of statistics, no case was ever made for it to be even a fraction of the problems that we've seen with the Trump shot. One more thing before we take a break about the diversity exclusivity. It seems like it is very one-sided, doesn't it? Have you ever noticed that? We've got an Asian diversity chief at Uber has now been fired, apparently put on leave, but it looks like it's going to be fired. Her sin, her crime was to hold an event to say, hey, let's pull back some of the anti-white racism against white women, calling white women Karens.
Starting point is 01:41:07 And for that crime, it appears that this Asian diversity chief is now going to be fired. Uber diversity chief Bo Young Lee has been suspended from her job for hosting a Don't Call Me Karen event for the company's white female employees to discuss the quote American white woman's experience in dealing with the anti-white Karen slur. Well, the only Karen I know is my wife. She's really nice. Yeah. But she does not like the fact that her name has become a meme to these people. Uh, but again, what do they know? Nothing. They don't know anything. So don't worry about it. That's what I tell her. Uh, we've heard that many of you are in pain, upset by yesterday's moving forward session, the one that was, you know, don't call me Karen.
Starting point is 01:41:52 They got upset about that, and they pushed back against it. Employees' concerns centered on a pair of events, one last month and another one last Wednesday, that were billed as, quote, diving into the spectrum of the American white woman's experience, unquote, and hearing from white women who work at Uber with a focus on the Karen persona. They were intended to be an open and honest conversation about race, but workers felt that they were being lectured on the difficulties experienced by white women and why Karen was a derogatory term. Miss Lee was dismissive of their concerns. You see, not even women get a pass if they're white
Starting point is 01:42:37 and not even a minority woman gets a pass if she defends white people. This is where intersectionality puts us, where they put you in the boxes and they rank you by the labels that they assigned to you about things that you have absolutely no control over. Uh, and so part of the group that was pushing back on this was an employee organization called black at Uber. They were celebrating about their victory in terms of getting this Asian diversity person fired. As one person said, this appears to be a classic case of women's tears. The Karen slur upset white women. Asian women in DEI tried to show some sympathy, and then black women got angry and got the head Asian woman put on leave. So where
Starting point is 01:43:28 are the men? They're doing the real work apparently. One of the female members of the black said Uber group tries to shame Latinos at the Uber organization for not being outraged enough. This was put out by a person named Hanania, H-A-N-A-N-I-A on Twitter, put out the documents showing the back and forth of this session, some screenshots. So evidently a female member, some female members of blacks at Uber were upset with the Latinos at Uber
Starting point is 01:44:05 because they weren't getting angry enough about this. One woman was triggered by being told that not everything has to be triggering. More from the Latinos at Uber channel, he said, women were rushing to reassure the original triggered woman that their feelings are valid, and as Latinas are also very very upset you see this is a back and forth richard and nania is his handle on twitter who put this out as um chris minahan at information liberation comments he said this story reminds me of how apple's diversity chief denise young Smith, who is black, was fired from her job and replaced with a liberal white woman because she said that a group of, quote, blue-eyed blonde men, quote, can be diverse.
Starting point is 01:44:55 What? This is going against all the things that these people believe, right? What kind of, you know, again social everything is a social construct and it's also amusing to me they have racially segregated chat groups yeah i know blacks at uber latinos at uber yeah uh so what she said to get her fired this black woman said diversity is a human experience i get a little bit frustrated when diversity or the term diversity is tagged to the people of color or women or the LGBT. She said there can be 12 white, blue-eyed, blonde men in a room and they're going to be diverse too because they're going to bring in a different life experience and a different life perspective
Starting point is 01:45:37 to the conversation, each of them. Oh, what's the matter with her? So they had to fire her because she didn't buy into this stuff. Because this is all about pitting people against each other, not treating people as individuals, but treating them as groups. And again, that is fatal to a society. And that's why they're doing it, because they want to destroy our society. They want to balkanize our society into every possible type of group.
Starting point is 01:46:04 You know, not just blacks and Latinos against whites, They want to balkanize our society into every possible type of group. Not just blacks and Latinos against whites, but white women against white men, and black women against black men, and so forth. We're told incessantly, says Chris Minahan, by the media, by ruling elites, that America is a white supremacist nation, and yet non-white diversity chiefs cannot even discuss anti-white racism without losing their jobs. There is systematic racism in this country, but it is the opposite of what we have been told, says Information Liberation.
Starting point is 01:46:38 Well, they're right about that. And just to give you a final example here, schoolteacher, this is something that was done in October of 2021, but just now discovered. And Fox picked it up. The New American has picked it up. Schoolteacher said, white people are problematic. Education is racist, and we need to start a riot.
Starting point is 01:46:59 And of course, she herself is a white female. And they're the worst, because in order for them to build credentials with this Marxist group, they have to hate themselves. They will not be accepted by the group unless they hate themselves. And so they continue to escalate it to get better credentials. And so much of this hatred is coming from these white liberals, especially the white female liberals. She said, teaching in school today will become the politics of tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:47:31 She didn't say that. That is the saying quoted by the New American. Well, I agree. But it's also, give me a child. They're only part of their life and they're mine for life. God has said that. Train up a child the way they should go, and they will not depart from it when they get older. But we've had dictators who will say the same thing. From Plato
Starting point is 01:47:51 through Hitler through Thomas Dewey and Horace Mann, they all understand they've got to get the kids early, and they've got to set them that way. Teaching at school today will become the politics of tomorrow. A bisexual Nevada middle school teacher who claims that white people are, quote, problematic, that education is, quote, inherently racist. Well, it is now. It is now with people like this.
Starting point is 01:48:16 And that our response should be to start a riot. And that is now the purpose of the CRT Marxism. The Sodom Go Marxist thing. She said in a series of tiktok videos uh she's saying start a riot as she presented different propositions dress codes are sexist education is inherently racist history is whitewashed white teachers are problematic and of course she's self-loathing white liberal as you
Starting point is 01:48:45 would expect she goes on to state that teachers are either the most woke humans on the planet or the most garbage humans there is no in-between that's the way these people are you know there's two kinds of people those who divide the world into two kinds of people and those who don't. Not only is the education system inherently racist, but many of the things that we're required to teach continue to perpetuate racism too. Well, that's true now. She said she was close to getting into a fisticuffs with another teacher whose sin was misgendering a student. And then she said Christopher Columbus was a, quote, Christian colonizer. Well, we're going to take a break, and we'll let Seals and Croft join in on this.
Starting point is 01:49:33 Here's Seals and Croft live, 1974, the year I met Mike Herron. Like Columbus in the olden days We must gather all our courage Sail our ships out on the open sea Cast away our fears and hold them dear Come and go, make us a whole new life We may never dance this way again We may never In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Starting point is 01:50:56 Welcome back. I have a couple of emails here I wanted to go over before we have our guest join us. This is from a listener, Scott, and he's in California, I think. Sent me this about a congressman there, Kevin Kiley. He said, I think you may want to take a look into this congressman. He's pretty darn good. The best thing to come out of California in ages, he said. He's usually pretty spot on.
Starting point is 01:51:22 If he's not on the correct side, I'm sure he can be educated to the said side. Keep up the good fight, he said. He's usually pretty spot on. If he's not on the correct side, I'm sure he can be educated to the said side. Keep up the good fight, he said. And this is what the congressman had put out about the debt ceiling. He said, at the moment, the debt ceiling battle is all-consuming in Washington. Here are two things that you may not hear in the media coverage. This is coming from Kevin Kiley, a Republican congressman from California. He said, first of all, in the House, unlike in the Schumer-controlled Senate, in the House we passed legislation weeks ago to avoid defaulting on our country's debts while cutting spending so that we don't take on more debt. He said, secondly, in California, our deadbeat governor has already defaulted on an $18.5 billion debt. He's already defaulted on it.
Starting point is 01:52:09 And that's just a fraction of the bill that he has run up. Newsom isn't just defaulting. He's concealing this. The legislative analyst has announced that California's budget deficit is, quote, much worse, unquote, than the governor says. The legislative analyst says it is $52 billion after he squandered a $100 billion surplus last year. Well, as I've said before, where did he get that $1 billion surplus? California was circling the debt drain as it was until they got all the COVID cash
Starting point is 01:52:47 from Trump and then from Biden. And so as soon as they have cut off this flow of cash, that's another one of the reasons why they wanted to keep this executive order, this emergency executive order going on and on and on. As that happened, they just upped their spending. And that's where they are right now. I think that it is a big distraction. As I've said before, there is no reason that when servicing the debt, even at this high level and this high interest rate, it's only 12.5% of receipts. They can continue to do that.
Starting point is 01:53:19 This is simply a lot of bellyaching because they want the ability to raise the credit limit on their credit card. That's all it is. This is about just demanding. It's like somebody who is struggling to make the payments on their credit card saying, we got to have our limits raised. And I wouldn't raise right now, you know, temper tantrum that is happening with these people. Uh, I have another listener for the love of the road says, um, it's funny how Twitter started acting up like I did the other couple of days.
Starting point is 01:53:53 He said, I think telegram and mines are the best alternatives. I should be looking at that. And we had a problem yesterday with rumble. Is that still a problem today? Did you hear anything from them? They didn't get back to you at rumble yesterday. And we told people not to leave tips for us on Rumble. And I don't know, I guess, have we had any comments today on Rumble? I haven't seen any. We haven't had any tips on Rumble. People have been commenting. I haven't heard back from Rumble
Starting point is 01:54:17 about it, so I don't know. I'll send them another email today and hopefully get some information on it. Yeah, we need to find out what's going on with that. Yesterday, in case you didn't hear, we had some people leaving tips and their tips and their comments were being repeated multiple times and they were being charged multiple times. We have not seen that before on Rumble. We told you yesterday, don't leave tips on Rumble. And so we put out, Travis, during the show, put out a request
Starting point is 01:54:46 for support. We still have not heard back from rumble. Uh, so we'll just leave it at that. Don't put any tips there until you hear from us. There are other ways that you can support the program. Of course we have, you know, the address, if you'd like to send us a check, there's no fees associated with that. Zelle, if you are with one of the banks that supports Zelle, there's no fees associated with that either. Rumble doesn't have any fees through 2023. But you can also support us with Rockfin if you want to leave a tip there or with Subscribestar.
Starting point is 01:55:15 And if you want to become a regular supporter on Subscribestar, that is something that really does help us. He also pointed out that Killing Ed, the documentary that I talked about earlier, he said it is still available on Tubi. Tubi or Tubi? T-U-B-I. And he gave me the link. Finally, he said it was X-Men First Class that showed Magneto as a child in a concentration camp. And later on, he was in Argentina hunting Nazis. So, you know, I had missed all that mythology. When I thought about it, I thought, you know, I had missed all that mythology. When I thought about it, I thought, you know, it is kind of interesting. And I had noticed this before Disney even turned
Starting point is 01:55:52 this into the kind of grooming and Marxism that they're all about now. But even before Disney bought these franchises, I used to enjoy the spectacle of superhero movies quite a bit. I really did like the very first Captain America and also the one that came out in 2016, Civil War. Was that the second one, I think? Maybe? Anyway, yeah. Travis says, yeah. I thought that was very good.
Starting point is 01:56:20 I like the fact that they got into the details of Operation Paperclip. They didn't even bother to rename it. Just talked about it exactly. And as I've said many times, Operation Paperclip is tied very closely, I think, to the mythology of Captain America. When they were looking at these Nazi scientists and the horrific experiments that they were doing, there was one, as they were evaluating these people, they had Operation Paperclip going on. They had somebody, if they thought they were important, they put a paperclip on there so that people would know, hey, don't pay attention to this guy.
Starting point is 01:56:52 Don't bring charges against him. We want to bring him because of what he has learned with his horrendous experiments or something like that. But there's one American officer who started investigating one of these Nazi war criminals. And the guy had been experimenting on reviving pilots who had died from being exposed to the coal as they ditched the plane in the English Channel. They said, sometimes we get to them and they've only just recently
Starting point is 01:57:18 died, but we can't revive them. Is there a way that we'll be able to revive people after they've been dead for a short period of time? This guy came up with a way to do it for, you know, several minutes, 15, 20 minutes or something like that after they had died, be able to bring them back. Died from the cold. And so this American officer inspected where he was doing the experiments. And the guy said, oh, we were just using pigs and things like that. And he looked at, they said, let me see your facility. He looked at it, and it was a trough not for cattle.
Starting point is 01:57:52 It was a trough that was the size for humans. And as they started digging, they found out there were dozens of people that had deliberately frozen to death and tried various ways to revive them. All of them died. I think they did find one person who various ways to revive them. All of them died. I think they did find one person who was able to do it. That story got out and it got public. And that became part of the mythology of Captain America, you know, going down in the Arctic or something and then being found and revived in
Starting point is 01:58:21 modern times, you know, to bring him in the present day. So there were always those types of things. But even before Disney started using it for LGBT agitprop, agitation and propaganda, it was pretty obvious that it was really kind of setting up a modern day mythology. Even in something that was fun and pretty innocent like Pixar's movie about that the Incredibles even had Edna Moe saying these people are gods and that's exactly the way this thing has been set up yeah they've created a whole panoply of mythology and they often even go back and give them the names you know like Thor and other stuff
Starting point is 01:59:05 like that but they're really working very hard on creating a mythology of god so we're also working if you go back and look at the x-men one of their episodes they were one of their movies it was very clear that it was obviously about teens who are going to be transitioning and the whole thing and perspective is about transhumanism if if you look at it, right? All of this stuff about mutants and all the rest of this and superheroes, it all is about transhumanism. And the idea that we're going to be able to have superpowers, we're going to transform ourselves into something else,
Starting point is 01:59:38 even if it means that it's going to come because we spend all of our time on virtual reality, on the metaverse. Well, we ought to just call it the transverse. The inverse, if you will. Yeah, the inverse of life. That's really where this is coming from. And so, and I mention that because if you're going to watch any of this stuff with your kids, engage them about that. If you understand that yourself, it breaks the power of this stuff a great deal.
Starting point is 02:00:08 I remember with the Star Wars stuff, somebody, and we covered it with our kids, talked about the theology of George Lucas and what was really being done. George Lucas pulled together all kinds of elements. He pulled together World War I movies and other movies about dog dog fights and use that for the spaceships and everything. He had, uh, obvious, uh, reference back to, uh, the, uh, early serials that used to be done. You know, that's S E R I A L S. You know, the T the movie serials before they had TV where they would leave them with cliffhangers and they would do the obvious transitions of the big Iris, you know, coming up or going down or the swipes and things like that.
Starting point is 02:00:48 Nobody does that kind of stuff anymore. So he was obviously going back to those. He referenced the chariot race from Ben Hur and number four, I guess it was or something. Anyway, you know, he had all these different elements that he put in there, but he also pulled in religious elements. You look at all the force stuff and God is everywhere and getting the pantheism that's there. There was a lot
Starting point is 02:01:11 of theology that he was selling people. It's not a coincidence that you have these people who, on their questionnaire in England, where their census, they ask people their religious beliefs and had so many people write in their religion is Star Wars because they wanted to get that recognized. I mean, it does have a lot of religious overtones. But you have to be, if you're conscious of that, you can enjoy some of the, I say that I think I can enjoy some of the stuff without being affected by that
Starting point is 02:01:39 if you're conscious of it. But if you're not conscious of it, it can really affect you a lot more. It might affect you anyway, but it's going to have much more power over you, over your kids if you don't address this. So do address the transgender, the transhumanism that is being pushed, the mythology that's being pushed through these things.
Starting point is 02:01:59 That is what it is ultimately about, and that's why you need to directly engage these types of things we're going to take a break and we're going to we're not ready but we'll be right back our guest is not ready to come on yet but we'll be right back stay with us the common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
Starting point is 02:02:39 And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.
Starting point is 02:03:26 If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. TheDavidKnightShow.com All right, joining us now, thank you. We've just been able to, at the last minute here, we've connected with Kim. Kim Witzak, she is someone who has worked and had a lot of experience, and we're going to talk about her own personal experience, with SSRIs. And she's had a tragic experience in her life, and she has worked very hard to try to make sure
Starting point is 02:04:18 that this doesn't happen to other people. As she pointed out, she became an accidental advocate for people to be informed about the risks and dangers of SSRI and many other drugs that are out there. Her site is WoodyMatters.com. Woody was her husband, and we're going to talk about that and about SSRIs. Thank you for joining us, Kim. Great. Thanks for having me. Thank you. Tell us a little bit about, you said you became an accidental advocate. Tell us a little bit about your story and your husband's story. Sure. Well, I like to call myself the accidental advocate because I certainly did not choose to
Starting point is 02:04:57 do this work, but sometimes our greatest life purposes choose us. So I was married, it was almost it'll be 20 years ago, this August, but I was married on August 6, 2003. I'll never forget the phone call that changed the trajectory of my life. My dad called to tell me that my husband, Woody was found hanging from the rafters of our garage dead at age 37. Woody was not depressed. Woody had no history of depression or any other mental illness. He had just started his dream job with a startup company and was having trouble sleeping, which is not really that uncommon for entrepreneurs.
Starting point is 02:05:39 And so, but what he did is, you know, I always call Woody the athlete who, you know, used doctors because they put him back. Humpty Dumpty, you know, they put him back. So Woody went and saw his GP, somebody he's trusted for a long time and was given a three week sample pack of Zoloft, which is an antidepressant for insomnia. Instead, it would take the edge off and help him sleep. And yeah, it's really crazy. And when I look back and, you know, I was out of the country the first three weeks he was on the drug. We both lived, we had very successful careers in advertising.
Starting point is 02:06:18 So I was out of the country. It was our busy time in production. So I wasn't even there when he first got put on these drugs. And like I said, the three week sample pack automatically doubled the dose. And so that's really the story. But what what put you know, like, we never once and I'll tell you one thing that happened right before Woody's death. I came home and Woody walked in the back door completely sweat through his blue dress shirt, fell to the floor in a fetal position with his hands around his head like a vice. Kim, you got to help me. I don't know what's happening to me. My head's outside my body
Starting point is 02:06:56 looking in. And I remember like, yeah, it was really, you know, and at that point, we've been married for 10 years. I've never seen this kind of behavior and we calmed him down he called his doctor and the doctor said give him four you got to give the drug four to six weeks to work wow to kick in wow yeah give it time yeah it's amazing when you look at this and you look up the definition of sRIs, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, what you will see on the internet, they'll say, well, it's the first line of pharmacotherapy for depression and other psychological issues due to its safety, its efficacy, and its tolerance.
Starting point is 02:07:42 It's amazing that they can put this message out there after all the stuff that's happened. And I've talked in the past, Kim, to people who have just started collecting SSRI stories. They call it SSRIStories.net. They've got over 7,000 of those. And we're trying to get this information out there. You know, when we look at this and how destructive this has become, how people will commit suicide and how sometimes as part become, how people will commit suicide and how sometimes
Starting point is 02:08:05 as part of that is mass murder. We've seen that being a factor in many of the shootings that are out there. And yet the public doesn't really understand. And there's so much trust in the doctors and in the pills that people are taking. I imagine, as you talked about the dosages, when I've talked to the people at SSRIstories.net, they said where it gets really dangerous is when people are having negative effects and they decide that they're going to adjust the dosage, maybe even cutting it, not even taking more of it, but just changing the dosage one way or the other, more or less, can trigger these types of suicides or murder-suicide. Correct. And it's like they always say,
Starting point is 02:08:53 like you just mentioned, we never once questioned a drug because it's advertised safe and effective, given to him by his doctor and the FDA. And at the time of Woody's death, there were no warnings. So that became kind of our mission. And the night that Woody was found, the coroner gave us a gift. And I call it a gift because intuitively I knew like something didn't make sense. Like my husband who loved life, we just booked our 10 year anniversary trip that he took his life. But she asked one simple question, was Woody taking any medication? And the only medication he was taking was Zoloft. And she said to us that we are going to have to take it with us. It might have something to do with his death.
Starting point is 02:09:32 So they took the bottle of Zoloft with her. So that became clue number one. Ironically, on the front page of our Minneapolis paper, they had an article that said the UK finds link between antidepressants and suicide in teens. So that was the same night, which is, you know, I look back now and I feel like, you know, that was Woody's note because there was no note, right? And that became our mission and started to go out to DC. So what a lot of families don't realize is before this time, when we Googled Zoloft and suicide, we had no idea that the FDA had hearings in 1991 on the emergence of violence and suicide
Starting point is 02:10:16 with Prozac and did nothing. And every, you know, did nothing. They never warned. And they said to study suicidality. The Eli Lilly never did. You know, the FDA never followed up. And meanwhile, here comes Zoloft from Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline's Paxil. It gets approved for kids. And so that became our mission to get black box suicide warnings added to these drugs in 2004 for kids and then 2006 for adults but you know a lot of people don't aren't really aware of that because you know they just assume and you know our commercials i mean the whole thing is just it is a very important topic that we must
Starting point is 02:10:59 constantly keep in um in in front of people like you're doing with the show. Well, yeah. You know, when we look at it, you got on your site, Woody Matters. Woody was your husband's name. WoodyMatters.com. You have some interesting factoids and graphics that are there. You say that there are $19 spent on ads by the pharmaceutical industry for every $1 that they spend on research.
Starting point is 02:11:26 That's pretty astounding. And of course, that's the ask your doctor commercials. And those things really exploded in the 90s. That's when that first phenomenon started happening. I've talked many times about how we had not seen, we moved to an area where we didn't have TV reception. Then we're traveling a few years after this stuff happened. We're in a hotel and we turn on the TV and it's like, wow,
Starting point is 02:11:45 it's just one pharmaceutical ad after another. I've never seen anything like that before, but $19 worth of ads for every $1 they spend on research. That's amazing. Yeah, it's a great, you know, that was a study that was done by a couple of researchers and it's fascinating because it's not just, you know, advertising that we see on television but it's all of this other um marketing you know there's so much marketing and i you know
Starting point is 02:12:12 have been the the interesting thing is i'm still in advertising and marketing so i have a lens that looks at everything through the marketing and advertising lens. And, you know, it's the perfect, and especially when you look at this, it's, you know, the drug commercial, then we've created all these side industries, and then we've created the advertising with the media networks. All of this influences that. But then you look at the, you know, call it, like I said, the spider web, and it's all the trappings of marketing that doctors aren't even aware that they're being marketed to.
Starting point is 02:12:49 Yeah, that's right. Yeah. It can be, it can be very, very subtle. It can be very, um, overt. And what we saw with the opioid industry, you know, they were selling this as like the panacea for everything. Give it for every type of thing, getting a lot of people addicted to it. And when they went back and they saw that, they saw how they were influencing doctors and spending so much money on vacations and even on hookers with some of them.
Starting point is 02:13:13 It was amazing what they were doing with that. And so you can imagine that if all the commercials that we see on television, on cable news especially, are just the tip of the spear, how much is being spent with the rest of this stuff? And with free samples and all kinds of studies that they fund. But, of course, all those commercials guarantee that the news agencies, the big news agencies on cable aren't really going to cover this topic. You talked about the fact that whenever the coroner was looking at your husband, Woody,
Starting point is 02:13:46 to ask you what kind of drugs he was taking, oh, Zoloft. Okay, I'm going to take a look. Whenever we see some kind of a crazy mass shooting, that has been for the longest time what I try to get to. Oh, look, this person was under psychological evaluation and under medication, but they won't say typically won't say what it is. They always still cover for the pharmaceutical companies. And if you dig far enough,
Starting point is 02:14:09 you'll probably will find in almost all these cases that it is SSRIs that are, uh, or something like that, that is a part of that, you know, it's part of this medication, but it's very interesting to see how, uh,
Starting point is 02:14:20 many of these shootings has been involved with and how the press now doesn't like to mention that whatsoever. Yeah, you know, again, I go back to the simple question of where was he on any drugs, right? So that gave me another insight. So every time there's a mass shooting, a lot of these shootings really started since the advent of antidepressants. And you look at whether, you know, there's some of the, there's a famous one that had the Donald Schell case down in Kentucky. And, you know, they actually settled with the company, settled. And so it became like, so there wouldn't be a jury verdict um when the drug was on the trial right and so these guys have known about it for a long time it's a simple question
Starting point is 02:15:10 i have always like one of the things that we've been out there advocating for is anytime there's a shooting we as the public um you know your HIPAA rules no longer apply we need to know what medications it's again it does not say it's causation right but is there a link is there a like a curiosity that we should be asking you know we should be knowing if what medications they were on and their privacy doesn't really matter because we are all sitting ducks and we should as a the member of the public we should be demanding that our legislators are pushing for you know information or this kind of information or investigations when we do have big shootings because we need to get we need to get to the bottom of like what's going on with this increase why Why are we seeing it? Again, I always say it's not causation, but is there a link?
Starting point is 02:16:08 And we need to be curious. Yeah, they're going to great lengths to keep this manifesto from this shooter in Nashville under wraps, but I'd be as interested, if not more interested, in finding out what was going on with her with the evaluation, the psychological treatment that she was undergoing. What kind of medication was she on? We need to take a look at that as well as the manifesto.
Starting point is 02:16:31 Tell us a little bit about this Donald Schell case that you referred to, where they settled. Donald Schell was in the 90s, and he was a factory worker, and he shot up some of the people. I think it was in Kentucky. I believe it was in Kentucky, Louisville. But anyways, the judge didn't know that there was a secret settlement. It was just, I actually just tweeted about it earlier in the month.
Starting point is 02:16:55 But there was a secret settlement that the judge found out about. But it really gave, it let the drug company off, which was Eli Lilly, because it was Prozac. They let them off the hook. And, you know, one of the things I didn't mention as part of my, as I call, battle for Woody, we had a lawsuit against, a wrongful death failure to warrant lawsuit against Pfizer, where we were able to get a bunch of documents out from under seal. And there were some in there that like Pfizer helped to create a prosecutor manual in the nineties. Now I just have to say, why would a drug company help to
Starting point is 02:17:33 create, or why would there need to be a prosecutor manual being helped for the, and it was called the Zoloft prosecutor manual to be used for any time somebody used the Zoloft defense or the drug made me do it. Again, that's from the 90s. Then you go back. I mean, it's really crazy. They really war game this. They war game all this stuff. They war game all the different stories about what they're going to tell people about the
Starting point is 02:17:58 warp speed vaccines and everything. They've got it planned from the very beginning. So if somebody says that they were under the influence of Zoloft, here's what you do to take that away. Wow. Yeah. Again, from the 90s. And then what a lot of people also don't realize is Prozac in Germany was never approved for a couple of reasons initially. Risk of suicide, lack of efficacy.
Starting point is 02:18:24 And eventually it did get approved, but with a tranquilizer. Now that idea of with a tranquilizer never got translated to our US, right? And so, you know, that is what we have to remember. There's that whole agitation and akathisia, which is the side effect that can cause, you know, when Woody was having that head outside the body, or it's this extreme agitation, this extreme psychosis, that actually Pfizer's chief medical officer wrote an entire article about akathisia. And if people would get experience akathisia, quote unquote, his words, not mine, death may be a welcome result. And so that journal article is public, right? But what wasn't public and came out in my documents was a letter that the chief medical officer wrote to his salespeople that said the attached journal
Starting point is 02:19:26 article may, is not suitable for general practitioners, but maybe for neurologically inclined psychiatrists. And I was like, they intentionally kept the side effect of akathisia from the GPs, but you know, 80%, what 70%, 80% of these drugs are written by GPs and not by the psychiatrists. Wow. And akathisia, that was similar to what your husband, Woody, was experiencing with his mind outside of his body type of thing? Yep. And it's like an extreme agitation.
Starting point is 02:20:01 It's like, you know, where you just want it out. You know, I just want it out. And that's the thing that they said would be, death would be considered to be preferable for many people like that. And of course, a lot of people, if you're having situations like that, and some people would alter their dosage for SSRIs because of physical things that were happening to them, right? Not just a mental thing that was happening to them. It might be doing other things to their body. And so they would adjust the dosage for that or get off of it. You weren't there when your husband committed suicide.
Starting point is 02:20:37 So you're not sure if he was having this akathisia and it was driving him nuts. Maybe he made the connection and just didn't take it. Maybe that could have sent him over the edge as well, because it will exacerbate changing your dosage. This is an important thing for people to know. Changing the dosage can really trigger this thing and it's almost like taking an overdose for it, in many cases, even to reduce it a little bit. Tell people about the black box warning that is on these things that you were able to get put on, the FDA black box warning. So the black box warning is the most serious of all warnings. That means that there's some type of serious adverse event or death that
Starting point is 02:21:18 can be associated with the drug. It is literally in a black box in your paperwork that you get from the pharmacist. But more importantly, it is a conversation that your doctors should be having with us, the patient or the caregiver, at the time of prescribing. And there's also for kids, there's an FDA medication guide for parents that talks about the suicide, the, where the dangers are also with some of the anxiety medications, how there's addictive, you know, qualities to them or that they're on the DEA schedule too. So these are all very, very important conversations. And, you know, it's funny, I always say when people are like, well, everybody, you know, the media sometimes will say everybody knows that there's warnings on these drugs. They just have to put it on. I said, no, that's not true.
Starting point is 02:22:12 If you like in 1991, I was a young kid. I didn't even know that the FDA was having hearings on Prozac and it was a big deal. Prozac and suicide and violence. Right. on Prozac and it was a big deal, Prozac and suicide and violence, right? So in 2004 or 2006, when I was in the thick of advocating for those and out in DC, you know, almost every other week, if you were like these parents now, if they were kids, they didn't know anything about this, right? So I think it's one of those things that we have to constantly be reminding people. And, you know, just recently there was a study that looked at that was done by Dr. David Healy and Peter Goetje out of Copenhagen. And they looked at we they got the data that was used to originally approve Prozac for kids, where it's called, it's part of the reanalysis of
Starting point is 02:23:07 the original clinical trial, and then they can look at what the data says and then compare it to what the journals say about the medication. Well, they just did and looked at Prozac approval that came out of the, using the MRHA, which is the UK version of the FDA regulatory body. And they reanalyzed it and looked at what the data said that was used to get approval and then what it looks like in the journal and how it got reported. And they left out suicides. So they're actually calling for the journals to actually update their data because they've reanalyzed it.
Starting point is 02:23:44 But, you know, it's funny looking at what we've seen in the last couple of years with just the, you know, the COVID vaccines and like, you know, all of the censoring and talking about it. We didn't have that same experience, meaning we didn't have social media and the media environment when we were trying to get the antidepressant black box warnings. But now I'm seeing anything to do with antidepressants, especially around the shootings, but also this reanalyzed study that just came out. We're not, the mainstream media has not touched it. And it should be one of those game changing findings, this new study that is using old original data that was used to get the drug approved. So, you know, I feel like there's so many parallels between those two worlds. Oh, yeah. We are living in a different world. It's you and I, the people who either are taking or we have loved ones or that we need to be the ones questioning and pushing our officials.
Starting point is 02:24:51 You know, I today sit on the FDA advisory board, the same advisory board that in 1991 didn't do their job and they all took money. So I have a very unique perspective also sitting on the psychopharmacologic drugs advisory committee, seeing how new drugs are coming to market using fast tracking and breakthrough. So I think there's just a lot of, you know, the system is not really built to protect you and I, it's really protecting others' interests. And a lot of interests are at play when it comes to the medications that we take. And it's an unbelievable amount of money that is involved. I mean, people are willing to kill for billions of dollars. I mean, we've seen it. Certainly corporations are. But tell us a little bit about that experience that you have sitting in there on the FDA FDA committee and your role in that is as a consumer advocate. Tell us what you're seeing. You mentioned that they're speeding things up. And of course, now we're seeing that as
Starting point is 02:25:52 they come out with one new vaccine after the other, they have established this paradigm. We heard Fauci talking about in October, 2019 at a Milken Institute thing, they said, you know, how do we get everybody to take a flu shot that we haven't tested? And he goes, well, we do it from the inside. We do it with disruption and we do it iteratively. Well, they have now established a protocol where they can just run through all these tests without going, waiting for a decade as they were talking about. We're seeing one vaccine coming after the other with mRNA without really any testing.
Starting point is 02:26:24 Is that what is happening to the psychological drugs that you're looking at in your committee? How are they speeding that up there? Or are they? Yes, they are. And so one of the things that Congress kind of granted is something called a breakthrough. There's all the fast-tracking mechanisms because, you know, back in the, I think it was the 80s with AIDS drugs. And you remember all the groups were saying, Hey,
Starting point is 02:26:45 it's taking you too long to approve these drugs. Right. Yeah. It's taking too long. We got to make it faster. Right. So that was one thing with like, you know, Padufa, but then they're also with Congress, they started, they have different regulatory, like it's called breakthrough therapy, fast tracking. Everything is, if you start watching and listening to the drugs that we take, everything is an unmet need. And so when there's an unmet need, that means that you can like bypass some of the more stringent or what I used to think were gold standards with our clinical trials. So a lot of the drugs that are coming before my committee, and I've been on it, I've just been
Starting point is 02:27:31 extended till the end of next year, which I still laugh because I tend to be the only one that votes no. And it's very interesting because I see it from a very different, like, it's not about just, I mean, market, you know, to get these drugs, you got to remember what clinical trials are. The whole idea is that's, that is there because they want to get it on the market for marketing purposes. Right. And so they can get it. So, you know, it's about getting, doing the data, getting the best, you know, like a lot of the clinical trials don't even, you know, aren't real world scenarios. They're the best case scenario for something. Then you have, and so that's one thing, but then if you don't have sheer volume or numbers, because like,
Starting point is 02:28:17 you know, I had a couple of drugs and I just actually, it's an article that's coming out today. It was the Rixalti, which is an antipsychotic that's currently on the market. But the big unmet need right now is Alzheimer's, dementia, agitation. And so they have been for years with the elderly been using antipsychotics. But, you know, they got the government cracked down on it because they literally have been killing elderly people regardless. And so this company, the drug is already on the market and they just got approval from the FDA. And I was the only, the data that they use was marginally beneficial for a patient.
Starting point is 02:29:06 There was no, or I should say, I almost think this was more for the caregivers or the nursing homes as opposed to the patient. There were no patient satisfaction type, where a lot of those drugs can deaden somebody. As well as then it also had a four times rate of death over the other, the drugs. But this, I was the only one that voted no. And it's amazing to me. And I really, you know, I leave these meetings often thinking, am I the only one that's seeing this?
Starting point is 02:29:39 You know, am I the only one? You know, I'm like, why bother? I want to hit my head against the, you know, the concrete. Like, it doesn't make a difference. But here's where I do think, you know, at least I'm on record. I get to challenge the drug companies. I get to challenge the FDA officials. And I come from a safety lens.
Starting point is 02:30:01 And I will always come with a safety lens. Because, you know, these drugs are coming to market really with smaller clinical trials and it ultimately is what happens when millions of people take the drugs and then we start seeing that's right you know the different issues happen but you know what time or time and you point out on your website, I encourage people to go there, WoodyMatters.com. You say there have been no initiated drug studies by the FDA. They don't do the studies. It's the people who are going to sell you the stuff that do the studies, right? Exactly.
Starting point is 02:30:35 I mean, that was shocking, too. And then the other thing that I'll say that was also shocking to me when I got into this work, again, the accidental advocate work, I would have assumed that doctors learn about how the FDA works and how this works in med school. But I found out they don't learn how the FDA works. That is not part of, in all of this critical thinking kind of things that you've got to be aware of, of the marketing, the ugly side that's behind the scenes, just so that as a doctor, you can be a little bit more aware versus, you know, versus just being educated by pharma. So the idea that, you know, they're not learning about it was shocking.
Starting point is 02:31:19 The idea that, wait, the FDA doesn't do the trials. You mean you're doing it and you are the one that wants to sell the product to me? Of course. Like we do this all the time in advertising. We know how to set up clinical trials. We know how to like play the game. So anyways, you'll have, uh, three different companies making a drug for the same thing at the same time. Right. And they'll all run their own studies and they'll say, well, mine is better than brand X and Y and then brand X and Y will do it and theirs will win as well. They rig these studies so much. It's such a rigged market. And of course, the real key is education. And that's why what you're doing is so important at WoodyMatters.com. Thank you so much, Kim. Kim Witsack, I'm so sorry about what happened to turn you into an advocate,
Starting point is 02:32:06 but thank you for being an advocate, and thank you for being eyes and ears as to what is happening inside the FDA. We all need to understand what is happening with that. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for having me. Appreciate it. Bye-bye. All right, we'll be right back, folks. The common man.
Starting point is 02:32:33 They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away.
Starting point is 02:33:03 Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. thedavidknightshow.com Well, a horrific story, but again, it has pushed her, and she said,
Starting point is 02:34:00 an accidental advocate. It is very important to know this. It is something we've got to keep before the public because I think it is a big factor. And a lot of the crazy stuff that we're seeing happening in our society, I think the SSRI drugs are a big, big part of that. Let's talk about another drug. And that is the one that I call Mephistopheles. Again, the destroyer, right? The abortion pill. World Magazine says,
Starting point is 02:34:28 a vicious tradition of eugenics. Does the government really believe that it is better to be dead than to be poor? That appears to be what they're saying. This is a piece that was written by ADF, the Alliance Defending Freedom. And they are a legal advocacy group, and they're part of a lawsuit that is now before the Supreme Court, I'm sorry, not the Supreme Court, before Circuit Court,
Starting point is 02:34:54 Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. And so they wrote an op-ed piece about what they have said in their lawsuit and the response that they got from the Biden administration, which is exactly like it was coming out of the mouth of Margaret Singer, the eugenicist. They said, when confronted with the cold hard truth of the harms of chemical abortion drugs for women and girls, our federal government responded by lamenting that fewer abortions will increase the population of people of color and of the poor we're going to have more poor and more people of color and i think it's interesting that they always have to use it people of color is a preferred term not colored people which is what the naacp still has is there and just what the, it's part of this is a mind game.
Starting point is 02:35:45 You know, it's like, you will use my words. You will use my terminology. There's no difference between people of color and colored people. There is, that is just a control tactic. See if they can get you to play along with them anyway. But that aside, because this has all been about eugenics. And Margaret Sanger put her abortion clinics in black communities to come after black people and the poor.
Starting point is 02:36:12 And that is what the Biden administration, how they're defending this expansion of the use of the abortion pill. 23 years ago, the FDA illegally approved the use of chemical abortion drug, mephipristone, which I call mephistopheles, which I think is a more appropriate description of it, is satanic. It is the destroyer. It is the liar. That's what this really is.
Starting point is 02:36:40 Characterizing pregnancy as an illness. That was 23 years ago. In 2000, the FDA argued that these drugs provide, quote, a meaningful therapeutic benefit. A therapeutic is to heal whatever you're sick with, a disease, right? You know, there's a different process, now that we don't have a process anymore for approving these drugs, but the FDA had a different process for approving a therapeutic versus approving a vaccine. A vaccine was supposed to keep you from getting whatever you're being vaccinated for.
Starting point is 02:37:13 And so the process was to try to evaluate that. A therapeutic was to heal what you had. And so they would bring in people for their phase two and phase three tests. People who had the condition to see if it was therapeutic. Does it actually heal them? And of course, we saw Fauci change the definitions of both of those things. Now we no longer have a definition of a vaccine that prevents people from getting it, and we no longer care about the therapeutic actually healing people. So that he could sell remdesivir for Gilead. He said, we're going to change it. He pronounced it the standard of care by saying that, well, it doesn't heal anybody here,
Starting point is 02:37:52 but it doesn't cure anything. But you know, for the people that got better, I say they got better 30% faster. So yeah, it's a standard of care. Well, that was never the standard of evaluation for a therapeutic. But going back to this, 23 years ago, the FDA, when a therapeutic was about curing a disease, they said the abortion pill was a therapeutic. In other words, the child is a disease. The FDA never studied the safety of the drugs under the label condition of use. They ignored the potential impacts of the hormone blocking regimen on the developing bodies of adolescent girls who, you know, Planned Parenthood loves to work with adolescent girls who have all been
Starting point is 02:38:36 statutorily raped, right? Below a certain age, there is no age of consent for that. But of course, Planned Parenthood and the liberals ignore that now. They ignore the rules about minors being able to consent to things when it comes to the gender agenda, which is something that Planned Parenthood sees as a growth industry for them. They are dispensing the gender mutilating drugs as well. Anyway, they don't talk about what this Mephistopheles does to the bodies of
Starting point is 02:39:11 adolescent girls who they give chemical abortions to. They disregarded the substantial evidence that chemical abortion drugs cause more complications than surgical abortions. Think about that. More than surgical abortion, more complicated. And yet, the move right now, what they're doing is to, even though this causes more complications than surgical abortions, they want the chemical abortions to be done without a prescription even
Starting point is 02:39:41 and without a medical exam. And the medical exam was important for the health of the woman or the girl because it was going to determine the stage of development and the size of the baby. That has a big implication for them. They don't care about women's health. They're going to get rid of the examination as well as the prescription, even though it's more dangerous than a surgical abortion in terms of the complications they eliminated necessary safeguards for pregnant women did the fda 23 years ago and women and girls who undergo this dangerous drug regimen
Starting point is 02:40:17 all this of course was in addition to approving the drug as a quote therapeutic unquote when its whole purpose was to take the life of an innocent child. Since the FDA failed to abide by its legal obligations to protect the health, safety, and welfare of women, Alliance Defending Freedom sued them. We filed the first lawsuit of its kind, holding the FDA accountable for its reckless endangerment of women and girls, and soon we will be arguing before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, urging it to protect women and girls and to halt the FDA's illegal mail-order abortion regime. No exam. I don't even need a prescription.
Starting point is 02:40:58 But instead of owning up to the glaring failure of the FDA, the federal government has provided a stunning response to the lawsuit. In reply to our lawsuit, the FDA defended its actions on chemical abortion by offering the testimony of Jason Lindo, held out as an expert on the economics of so-called reproductive health care, abortion, in other words. He writes, quote, rigorous quantitative research, unquote, shows that children who come into this world because their mothers can't obtain an abortion, quote, are expected to do worse in school. They also are expected to have lower earnings as adults,
Starting point is 02:41:39 poorer health, and an increased likelihood of criminal involvement. So kill them. Kill them. Isn't that amazing? And this, of course, has been one of the main lines of attack of Planned Parenthood. They put their abortion clinics in poor neighborhoods. They put their abortion clinics in black neighborhoods.
Starting point is 02:41:58 People come in. They say, well, you know how much it's going to cost to have this kid to the age of 18? It's going to cost you whatever, you know, a million dollars or two million dollars or whatever. You got that kind of money? You should abort this kid because this kid's going to have a horrible life. The Biden administration, in its defense of chemical abortion, further says chemical abortion will reduce taxes by lowering the need for social safety net programs. The affidavit from the federal government says,
Starting point is 02:42:31 quote, those with limited economic resources and women of color will disproportionately be affected by reduction in chemical abortions. This is the same stuff as Margaret Sanger. They said this sounds like Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, who was unabashedly advocated for using eugenics to reduce certain populations, poor people, and people of color. Planned Parenthood had been trying to distance itself from Sanger's racist
Starting point is 02:43:02 and horrific comments. They would not even acknowledge any of them. Now, recently, they acknowledged it and said, well, we disagree with it. But now you see with the Biden administration that they don't disagree with it. So first, they kind of disowned her and her eugenics background. Then they said, okay, okay, she was wrong about that, but we like the other things that she did, whatever. And now they are sounding exactly like her. And of course, they always were exactly like her. It always was, first and foremost, about black genocide.
Starting point is 02:43:39 But it's spreading out to everybody. So, they said, the Biden administration sees abortion as a way to reduce costs by eliminating children who might enter the world in less prosperous circumstances. And understand, as I said, it's now everybody.
Starting point is 02:44:00 This is the same kind of mindset of the elites that wants to reduce the population by 90% or more. The same kind of mindset of the elites that wants to reduce the population by 90% or more. The same kind of attitude that they have. It isn't just poor black families in the inner city. They see middle class as people that they have to pacify and control so they want to just get rid of us. Bloomberg was very clear about that. You know, when he is where he attacked the farmers, what he was saying was,
Starting point is 02:44:30 um, you know, we got the people used to raise food and then we figured out a way to do that better. And we went to the industrial revolution. We had them working in the factories. Now we don't need them anymore. Working about ways to get, to take their jobs and give their jobs to robots and to AI and so forth. We have to figure out how we're going to pacify them
Starting point is 02:44:47 so they don't come after us with guillotines. That was a word he used, guillotines. And so they see us as a threat. They see us as parasites, and they've made that very clear. They see us as a virus. You hear that all the time with the Green Agenda. We are a virus on Mother Earth, the Gaia Theory. And so they see us as a threat, as a disease.
Starting point is 02:45:08 That's why they say a therapeutic, you see. More children are going to be more of the virus. They've got to stop the disease of humanity. Everything these people do is focused on depopulation, on killing people, on reducing the population to just them. And so you have to understand, huh? At least, uh,
Starting point is 02:45:30 that part of the Q and on is right where we go. One, we go all right. United. We stand, you know, one for, um,
Starting point is 02:45:38 all for one and one for all that type of thing. We have to understand this is not something that is just about black people or about poor people. It's about the white middle class and all the rest of this. Because the mindset of this is one of elitism and depopulation. And the lines are not even drawn where many people will say they're drawn. They're drawn for all of humanity because it is a satanic, Luciferian agenda.
Starting point is 02:46:09 That's a mindset. Humanity has to be destroyed. We have to kill the people who are here, and we have to stop more people from coming. Satan has always been about destroying the human race. That's what this is, depopulation. Anyway, cut the cost by eliminating children who would come in and would be a threat to us. It is unconscionable, says the Alliance Defending Freedom.
Starting point is 02:46:33 It is unconscionable to justify ending the life of an innocent child because a child might struggle financially, may impose costs on taxpayers, could grow up to be a criminal, or may possibly score low on a test someday. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote, Abortion has proved to be a disturbingly effective tool for implementing the discriminatory preferences that undergird eugenics. But we need to understand that these discriminatory purposes are a very big tent. It includes most of humanity. It includes over 90% of humanity. They're just starting with these other groups,
Starting point is 02:47:16 you understand. We must reject the lie that any person deserves to live only if he or she can contribute in a particular way to a society or will not impose costs on others. And we better understand that that is where these people are coming from. They want to determine not only what you say and do and watch everything that you say or do, but they want to reserve the right to terminate you, not just to cancel you on social media. That's just the beginning of it.
Starting point is 02:47:48 That's just the tip of the spear. They're just getting us accustomed to that. An unhinged New York City college professor cursed out anti-abortion students, and this happened at the beginning of the month. And even though that was widely reported, nothing was really done about it until the New York Post sent some reporters by just a couple of days ago. Show some of these pictures, Travis. There she is.
Starting point is 02:48:14 Here's a reporter at her door. He shows up with a cameraman to document this. And this woman is so crazed. And she's a college professor in New York City. She's so crazed that she opens up the door, threatens to kill this guy, holds a machete to his neck. She had already threatened these students with violence at the beginning of the month, but it wasn't until the New York Post showed up.
Starting point is 02:48:40 And again, she is so violent. She's upset because she wants abortions. Well, she's going to do an abortion herself. That's where these people are coming from. Out of the heart, this all proceeds. You start with somebody. You show me somebody who was angry that we're not chopping kids up, and I'll show you somebody who will chop up an adult and kill people at any
Starting point is 02:49:06 age. And they'll use the excuse. Well, they just don't have a good quality of life or something. That's not the case with this woman, even though the unhinged Manhattan college professor who went viral, this is New York post talking about what happened to their reporters went viral for cursing out anti-abortion students,
Starting point is 02:49:22 shockingly held a machete to the Post reporter's neck Tuesday and made wild threats that she was going to chop him up, quote-unquote. Sheldon Rodriguez spewed the menacing remarks when the Post knocked on the door of her Bronx apartment Tuesday morning, a day after she made headlines for flipping out on pro-life students at Hunter College. She did that at the beginning of the month, but it only made headlines the beginning of the week. And so then yesterday, the New York Post sends a reporter, and this is what happens. Get the F away from my door. I'm going to chop you up with this machete.
Starting point is 02:49:59 And seconds later, she barged out and alarmingly put the blade to his neck. Get the F away from my door. Get the F away from my door. She raged before retreating back into her apartment and slamming the door, even with a photographer standing right there documenting everything. Will she face any consequences from the police for this assault? Well, that remains to be seen. What about her job as a college professor?
Starting point is 02:50:23 Hmm. Well, you know, we'll have an update on that here. The post reporter and photographer immediately left the apartment building, but still armed with a machete, Rodriguez followed them and accosted them outside. He said, if I see you on this block one more effing time, you're gone. You're gonna, and then she stops, and then she wielded the implement at him. Get the F off the block. Get the F out of here, yo.
Starting point is 02:50:51 The professor, professor. This is what a college education gets you, people like this. And this is what taxpayers in New York City are paying for, to hire people like this to teach kids. What does she teach, drama? Art. That's the same thing. Fine art, yeah. you're paying for to hire people like this to teach kids what does she teach drama art fine art yeah that was amazing the professor briefly chased the post reporter uh photographer
Starting point is 02:51:14 rather down the street to his car before coming back to kick him in the shins show the picture pull the article up there and you can see her as she's look at her she's that's the photographer gets this final picture of her. She's coming at him and then she kicks him in the shins. That's what she looks like when she's not threatening people with a machete and she's, you know, having a cup of coffee like Frankenstein. I say like Frankenstein, I got a, I got a poster. We lost it somehow in the move, but it's Boris Karloff as a Frankenstein.
Starting point is 02:51:48 And he's sitting in the chair in between filming breaks and he's having a cup of coffee. Just so hilarious. You know, here he is. He's, he's chilling out as Frankenstein. Well, you know, she, she drinks coffee as well. So a spokesperson for the college that she teaches at, Hunter College, says she has now been fired. Hunter College strongly condemns the unacceptable actions of Shellen Rodriguez and has taken immediate action. She has been relieved of her duties at Hunter College, effective immediately, and will not be returning to teach at the school. But what happened before this, the school didn't do anything about. Now, we still don't know if the police are going to do anything about this in New York City. I guess it's no point because the Soros DA would just turn her back out on the street, right?
Starting point is 02:52:41 The terrifying ordeal unfolded after footage surfaced online that showed rodriguez unleashing a profanity-laden attack on anti-abortion students who'd set up an information table at hunter college earlier this month scroll down below her drinking coffee and you'll see pictures of the um of that there we go so they put out a video of this and some people took some stills and they put put some dialogue boxes there, like cartoon dialogue things. And she came over to their table where they had pro-life stuff, and I'm imagining that she was very upset about they probably had some pictures of what abortion actually does to a baby. And so she got very upset.
Starting point is 02:53:27 And she started tossing all of these things. She said, you're not educating. This is effing propaganda. Yeah, she's an art professor. This is May the 2nd that that happened with those kids. She said, what are you going to do next? Anti-trans? Well, yeah.
Starting point is 02:53:45 Yeah, we're going to do next? Anti-trans? Well, yeah. Yeah, we're going to do that too. Just you wait. Did she wait, Henry Higgins? Just you wait. Yeah, a male student behind the table was filming her. He said, I mean, no, we're talking about abortion. And he said said i'm sorry about triggering your students and she fired back saying to the male student that he couldn't be sorry because you can't even have an
Starting point is 02:54:11 effing baby the video was posted on twitter by students for life of america and then showed the professor tossing their pamphlets all around. And so because that went viral, the New York Post sent the reporter and the photographer to talk to her. A representative for the college, a public school, it's part of the city's University of New York program, previously said that the school was aware of all of this that was caught on camera and the altercation. They said, well, we're taking this very seriously.
Starting point is 02:54:47 The provost has opened an investigation of the professor's actions, said the representative, but they didn't fire her at that time. Only after she came after a New York Post reporter with a machete. And I guess she figured she was entitled to do that because, you know, being a professor and all, she could do whatever she wanted to with those students so why not this is the quality of people that get into professorship this is what it takes to be a professor do you know how dumb and out of control you have to be to think holding a machete
Starting point is 02:55:15 to someone's neck is a viable option our institutions are totally failed how many years has this moron been teaching class oh yeah yeah. Oh yeah. Imagine the kind of attitudes that she instills in kids. We're going to take a quick break and we're going to be right back and we'll talk about pistol braces. Stay with us. Terima kasih telah menonton! you're listening to the david knight show welcome back you know we have a lot of people who are staring down the possibility of becoming felons in just about 10 days the end of the month and i talked about this when i hosted for bradley dean on on monday but i haven't talked to this audience about it i began by saying let's take a look at yet another, even as this stuff is breaking, we've got yet another case of deliberate murder by an SUV.
Starting point is 02:56:55 And yet they want to focus exclusively on guns and they ignore the fact that we're not going to try to ban SUVs because people are using them as a murder weapon, as they did at the Waukesha parade. And as this guy who killed a teenager because he called him a Republican extremist. And so he literally ran him down with a car and then ran over him. As they found with the autopsy, he did not die from being hit with a vehicle. He was on the ground when the fatal wounds were suffered. And so that means that this guy not only hit him, but he came back and ran over him. At first, they weren't even going to charge him with manslaughter because, you know, hey, it's a Republican.
Starting point is 02:57:38 They deserve it, right? Now he's been convicted of a manslaughter charge, but the most that he could get is 10 years. This was in North Dakota. He admitted to killing an 18 year old by running over him with his SUV because he was quote part of a Republican extremist group. Uh, the kid had called his mom and said, Hey, he's after us and said, you know, run away. And, you know, before the mom could get there and pick him up in the car, this guy had run over him and killed him. But we can draw a distinction between SUVs being used by a deranged killer, but we cannot do that with gun control,
Starting point is 02:58:16 even to the extent of when you're talking about these pistol braces. And everybody is rightfully angry about the threat. June 1st, 40 million firearms between the ATF estimates between 3 and 5 million people will become felonies with this if they hang on to these things. With the Biden pistol ban done by executive order set to go into effect on June 1st. Criminalizes the ownership of these pieces of plastic. You get $250,000 in fine, a hefty prison sentence with a felony. The rule will have some of the most wide-reaching impacts nationwide compared to other ATF rules that have been made.
Starting point is 02:58:59 And so now we do our infringement of the right to keep and bear arms is now not being done by legislators pretending that the laws that they pass are legal because laws that are in violation and contradiction to the Constitution are not legitimate laws. But with her rulemaking, the ATF's bump stock rule was estimated to have affected 520,000 Americans. This pistol brace is they estimate will affect 80 times more people than that. But it's not just Trump's bump stock rule. And it was Trump's bump stock rule. He was the one who pushed it. He was the one who bragged about it.
Starting point is 02:59:39 But during the Trump administration, Trump had decided that his next step was going to be the pistol brace. Did you know that? Do you remember that? I haven't talked about that much, but that's what happened. He decided first he did the pump stock, and then the next thing he did was a pistol brace. And you had groups like Gun Owners of America who fought him on the pistol brace. And in December of 2020, what was happening at that point in time?
Starting point is 03:00:06 Well, Trump was trying to make his case with his base to get angry and to defend him and to send him all kinds of money, $250 million he collected. He split it with the RNC, but they didn't do much in terms of investigation or litigation. So he made $250 million and he needed the masses of his voters to support him. So he pulled back at the last minute in December of 2020 on this pistol brace, but he had been working on it for over a year. Trump had intended to do both of these things.
Starting point is 03:00:39 I have talked about this in the past. I said, you know, we have this continuum. He set the precedent for gun control by executive order, gun control by the bureaucracy, the ATF. But he was pushing that very hard himself. This is the guy that Republicans, by an overwhelming majority, 68% of Republicans that they poll, say they want him in as president. He doesn't push back. He's pushing back against the pro-life people. He is setting these precedents for gun control. The House Judiciary Committee had advanced a pistol brace resolution on April 19th of this year. They voted to push this back. And of course, where we are right now is that the default position
Starting point is 03:01:26 is that the bureaucracy can create any kind of rules without any representation. We have regulation without representation. If they get out of hand, they have a mechanism now that Congress has set up saying that we can have we can pass a resolution and have a Congressional Review Act
Starting point is 03:01:42 and we can nullify that. That's how sorry and sad the situation is in Washington. Why we should not be putting our eggs in the basket of a president or even in the bags of a Republican, Supreme Court or Congress. We gotta nullify these people at the state and local level.
